Okay.

Left out a few things - let's start with Operating System and current
Service Pack (if any) level...

As many will tell you - ignore the title and symptoms listed in the article
referred to. Do method 1 and 2 and see if it fixes your issue whether or
not you repaired anything.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144
Try method 1 and try to update*.
If fails - try method 2 and try to update*.

*try to update:
- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
- If it asks you to install anything before you see a selection of "Custom"
or "Express" - do so.
- Once you see the "Custom" or "Express" selection, choose "Custom".
- Scan for updates.
- When it lists what it finds - install the critical ones.
- You are generally safe doing the Optional Software Updates
(although I would not put Windows Search on anything.) I
suggest avoiding the Optional Hardware Updates completely.


**IMPORTANT**
Given you will have so many updates to do I suggest that in the
"*try to update*" section above - you uncheck all the updates
and try just one to five at a time - rebooting after each set.

Service Pack 3 is something you can wait on - just install all the rest of
the updates first (High Priority at least) before worrying over SP3.
