Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.
The latest version of Windows Update is available on computers that are running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000 (except Windows 2000 Datacenter Server), Windows XP, and the Windows Server 2003 family.
Any ideas?

If you are looking for the patch to the MS Blaster worm, you can get it at http://download.microsoft.com. I assume you're using Windows XP, since you said 'All Programs' from the start menu. Have you installed SP1? Legal key/license?
I received this message a couple of times last night and then after a reboot it worked fine. This may have been coincidental however
