Windows XP uodate

I have a brand new machine with XP home installed by the dealer. It is
legit, I have the CD and a sticker. I go to Wnidows update and it tells me
that I have a security update to install. When I try to install it it says
that it needs Windows Genuine Advantage (or something like that), so I click
on "install it". The message says it failed to install. I have tried
several manual methods to install it and get all sorts of wierd messages
(like you are trying to install a program that is older than the one that is
running). I am effectively blocked out of updating this copy of Windows.
Why? How do I fix this?
