When you have the command window open and type net localgroup

Was it started and set to automatic as startup type? If so it is
configured
correctly. You need to logon as a local administrator in order to be
able
to
manage services. In XP Home you may need to boot into Safe Mode to
logon
as
the built in administrator account if you do not have another user
that
is
also a local administrator. You can run the command net localgroup
administrators to see what users are also local administrators. Enter
cmd.exe in the run box and hit OK if you are not sure how to access a
command window. --- Steve

Try going to Control Panel/system/Automatic Updates to make sure
that
the
first option for automatic is enabled. Also enter services.msc in
the
run
box and then hit OK. Find the Automatic Updates service and make
sure
the
startup type is automatic and that it is started under status. If
you
are
using a personal firewall other then the Windows Firewall it may
also
be
blocking access to Windows Updates. --- Steve
