Still more than powerful enough to run XP.
Anyhow, this is a solutiion for another problem (actually for Windows Update failing with wierd errors), but it might work here..
Click Start, then Run. Type cmd and press enter.
In the box that appears, type the following, pressing enter after each line.
Code:
net stop wuauserv
ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore DataStore.old
net start wuauserv
All that does is to stop Automatic Updates (needed for Windows Update as well), then delete a database it uses. Finally, it restarts Automatic updates.
Note, you should type that code in EXACTLY (better still, copy and paste it).
