I had trouble getting autoupdate to even search for it. I was also having other IE problems like slow speed. So I reinstalled my xp, this time I installed my anti virus next, and then the drivers that xp does not get. I found that I had a virus on the drivers cd that came with my motherboard. Once I got the drivers fixed I went to the update site and got all the sp1 updates. the auto program still was not engaging, so I installed directx 9.0C, and then the auto update engaged. Right now it is sitting in the tray doing nothing! On the windows update site you can click on help and support, and then microsoft newsgroup. I learned in there that the autoupdate program has a log file in the windows folder called windowsupdate.log, at the bottom of the file in the last 20 lines or so you will find your update time. If it works correctly my update will start at 2004-08-25 03:00:00. If that time passes. I'll know I have a problem with the autoupdate program. Then I'll try the other way.
