Eric--
This has been a problem for many XP users.., I suspect because MS have
created various tweaks/versions to the Windows Update utility (it's an Active
X control that is installed via the Windows Update website). A remedy to
this, in addition to the links that Kaylene suggested (*the abstracts tend to
be rather long), would be to clean out the previous Update components.

Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files and proceeded to delete the
various Active X files. You may have to "reinstall" Flash Player, and other
such components but this is simply enough to do. Depending on your security
settings, the Active X files will install when needed silently, or you'll be
prompted.

Browse to the Windows Update website (the latest incarnation....
{http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us}) and
you'll be prompted to install the Windows Update component/ActiveX control.
This makes sure you're using the latest update engine, and that previous ones
aren't on your system....

If this doesn't help (simple, but usually resolves most cases of "faulty
update" messages), repost and more robust answers would be forthcoming.
