See if the information in this article helps. Note: While the title of the
article only mentions repair installation, it's been reported in these
newsgroups that the suggested fix may help when the issue occurs after a clean
installation.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation

Good luck

Use my Svchosts Fix tool. Download it here
http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm if that does not fix it then
use the Automatic Update Repair Tool on the same page.

Sheeesh another stupid MVP troll. Where and when did I ever say that that
was mine, I never said that you just assumed it was was because I offered
it. Is something wrong with your reading comprehension? 77a has been pulled.
That means IT IS NOT AVAILABLE HELLO HELLO! IS ANYONE HOME KNOCK KNOCK. When
it because available I will update my site but until then version 76, which
"IS" still available will stay where it is. Now get lost.

You did in your own post:

"Use my Svchosts Fix tool. Download it here "

That tells people that it's YOUR tool, that you authored it or had
someone write it for you.

If you had said "Download a copy of the MS SVCHOSTS File Tool" you would
be correct, but you didn't.
