The solution in the forum is to download the update directly from MS and to install it yourself. I remember that when I had this problem, this fix did *not* help me.

I tried a lot of things to fix it and I finally gave up and cheated. I decided that I would do without the update. You can right-click it (this works in VISTA, not sure if it works in XP) and select "HIDE UPDATE". This just says to your PC: "don't worry about this update and quit nagging me about it".
