Hi Alex - Try the following:

Install the newly released 'standalone' version of Windows Update Agent 3.0,
v. 7.0.6000.374, for 32 bit machines available here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

You will also need to install or re-install KB927891, here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=927891 for a complete fix. (You are
showing the specific symptoms of this hotfix, BTW.)

Now reboot. Now reboot again (Yes, twice.)
