Was Windows XP SP3 the only thing you installed/did? No repair
installation, nothing?

Try this (Method 1) and reboot and try your updates again.

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

I have the same issue on 4 brand new Dell Latitude D830. Fresh out of the
box, installed the critical updates, including SP3. Once that was installed
no other updates will install. Including Office 2003 SP3.

See this article - ignore title - Updates are not installed successfully from Windows
Update, from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation

Have just this morning solved this problem on my PC, after weeks of
searching. The tip came from a technician where I bought my PC (in Germany)
and a search of the of this file with Google found it only, it would seem, on
German websites, this should not present too much of a problem though :

winupdrestore!v23.exe

I hope it helps you too, after all my desperate searching felt a need to
share the information.
