Update Error For Windows XP Operating System

[Joyjeet]

I am not able to Update my Windows operating system, I continuously get an Error message. I also cleaned the Temporary Internet files stored in the registry and Offline Content, deleted Cookies and History. I also made unchecked Read Only permission under Properties and it is still not allowing me to the access or change the name of this file. I tried running Registry Mechanic and CCleaner. Anyone know how to fix this problem? The Windows Updates are way out of date.

Please help me with this problem

Is it a legit copy of windows? If so, call or e-mail their support.

It has to be legit. Windows Defender won't even install on a non-legit computer.
(Unless you're lucky enough to know of a VL key that actually still works)

clear the Microsoft Internet Explorer cache. To do this, following these steps:
1. On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, click Delete Files in the Temporary Internet Files section.
3. Click OK, and then click OK again.
To resolve this error, recreate the database that stores Windows Update information or Microsoft Update information on your computer. To do this, follow these steps:

I'd try clearing IE's cache once more:
Start Internet Explorer.

On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

Click the General tab.

In the Temporary Internet files section, click Delete Cookies.

In the Delete Cookies box, click OK.

Click Delete Files.

Click to select the Delete all offline content check box in the Delete Files dialog box, and then click OK.

In the History section, click Clear History.

Click Yes, and then click OK.
