windows update error

I'm running windows XP MCE, just reinstalled the operating system and I'm
having trouble retreaving windows updates

I recieve the following error
" Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed
> on your computer. To continue:
> Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
> Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem"

I searched for a solution and came accross a suggestion to re-register the
msxml3.dll,

but that does not work that also results in an error message

DllRegisterServer in mxcml3.dll failed.
Return code was: 0x80070005

any help would be appreciated

Install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent from a Command
Prompt as laid out here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/blogs/mowgreen/index.php?showentry=1172

*If* security software is the cause of the error on MU, then you may
have to boot to Safe Mode with Command Prompt and install the WUA from
within that mode or learn how to *completely and totally* disable all
installed security software from monitoring the system. Safe Mode with
Command Prompt is quicker and a more sound safety practice
NOTE: you will not have to stop the Windows Update service [wuauserv]
when in SM -

Why did you install Windows?

CrystalBall© sez...

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

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've tried that, tried it again as per you
post, but it does not work. I continue to receive the error.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've tried that, tried it again as per you
post, but it does not work. I continue to receive the error.


I reinstalled windows b/c my video drivers were not working correctly, I was
having problems with the computer recognizing my video card. After the
reinstallation that problem was corrected.

See Kaylene's reply.

Once you have the hotfix installed, see KB943144 again.
