Check the windows update log. Only entries in there are automatic update
checks.

I even tried the things that Rajesh suggested. Please see my reply to him.

Thanks so much for your help and I'm still open for suggestions.

You can download and *SAVE* the latest version of the Windows Update
Agent from the link on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494
It's under " x86-based versions of Windows "
ALSO, download and save KB927891:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

When the downloads complete, close the browser and any other open programs.
Stop the Automatic Updates service by going to Start > Run > type in

net stop wuauserv
Click OK or press Enter

Install WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe first
Install WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe and then restart the system

Oerks, what's that "TaxWise" bloat in the User-Agent?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817144 - "Method 4" should help.
