I have windows XP SP2. When I try to do windows update, it gave a message
that says "files required for windows update were not installed or
registered..." Then it give you the box to click to install it. And after
installing it, it still bring up the same message. I tried several times but
no luck. Why is this happening?

Is "files required for windows update were not installed or registered" the
exact, verbatim error message?

They seem to have fixed it today. I was finally able to connect and download
4 updates.

This worked for me:
In the end, I'm not sure which of the two procedures did it, but here
they are. In an attempt to fix search, I did the following:
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
