[Error number: 0x8DDD0018]

I have Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

When I boot up, I get an error message from Windows Update saying it's been
disabled and I could get viruses..... I click on Windows Update in the
tools section of Explorer and this error message displays. [Error number:
0x8DDD0018]

I have tried to do the "Run" services.msc and try to change the Automatic
Update to Startup Type: Automatic. However, when I try to start it I continue
to receive an error message that says:

Could not start Automatic Updates Service on Local Computer.
Error 1058: The service cannot be started, ether because it is disabled or
because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Can anyone help??
Thanks,
Sandi
