Is the system free of malware ? Using Internet Explorer, suggest you
attempt a scan here:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm
and/or here:
http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/virusscanner
The first scanner can remove malware; the second can not but is *very*
good at detecting malwares' presence.
IF no malware is detected, see:
The Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site does not
appear, and you receive the following error message: "Initialization
error 0x800A1391"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836961
Error messages that you may receive when you try to download and install
updates from the Windows Update Web site, from the Microsoft Update Web
site, or from a WSUS server: "0x800704DD," "0x80240020," or both

If still no joy, then suggest you download and *save* AU Reset (v78)

The system needs to be online in order to download needed update
software components.
Now run au_check_v78_codeplex.exe and allow it time to complete it's
operation.
Reboot afterwards.
*** Reenable the installed security software ***
Try to update now.
