If your computer will not let you install anything from the MS website, after installing SP-3, like IE-7, hardware drivers, and 4 software updates,
Here is the fix I had to do:

The Fix

Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, net stop wuauserv and then press ENTER:

2. Register the Wups2.dll file. To do this, follow these steps:a. At the command prompt, type the following command, regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll and then press ENTER:

Note For a computer that is running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, type the following command, regsvr32 %windir%\syswow64\wups2.dll and then press ENTER:

b. Click OK on each verification message that you receive.

3. Start the Automatic Updates service. To do this, type the following command at the command prompt, net start wuauserv and then press ENTER:

4. Exit the command prompt. To do this type exit, and then press ENTER

I'm glad that I did not go down the SP3 route.
