Go to the Windows Update website. When the page fully loads, click on "Review your update history" under Options in the left sidebar. Scroll (if necessary) to locate the items that have "Failed" in the Status column. Click on the Failed icon, and you should receive an Installation Failure popup window. Take note of the Error Code for each failed item and post back here with the error code(s).

In addition to the link provided by lcsmith39, there is also this MSKB article:
Error message when you try to download updates from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site on a Windows XP-based computer: "0x80070003"

So then i was looking for the fix, and i am so glad i found this, it works for me so hope it works for you too.. Basically what you need to do is create a bat file. Cut and paste the below lines into notepad: regsvr32.exe iuengine.dll regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll regsvr32.exe wuaueng1.dll regsvr32.exe wuauserv.dll regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll regsvr32.exe wups.dll regsvr32.exe wuweb.dll regsvr32.exe wups2.dll regsvr32.exe cdm.dll regsvr32.exe msxml2r.dll regsvr32.exe msxml3r.dll regsvr32.exe msxml.dll regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll regsvr32.exe msxmlr.dll regsvr32.exe msxml2.dll regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll regsvr32 softpub.dll regsvr32 wintrust.dll regsvr32 initpki.dll regsvr32 dssenh.dll regsvr32 rsaenh.dll regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll regsvr32 sccbase.dll regsvr32 slbcsp.dll regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll Now click on File Click on Save As (dialogue box appears) At the bottom do the drop down in Save as Type as ALL FILES In File Name box name it Winupdatefix.bat Save it to location that you prefer. it will appear as a ms-dos batch file. Double click is to run it , and just press 'OK' for all the dialouges, for some DLLs, it wil says seomthing like missing a file or cannot re-register don't worry, just press 'OK' .. Note: initpki.dll will seem to hang, it just takes less than a minute comapred to the others (that are almost instant). Restart computer (optional) Good luck..  Thanks to Boraxus from somewhere..

Yes it is safe but its only if you've done a windows restore. Here is a link to an excellent newsletter on the subject which explains it all: http://WindowsSecrets.com/comp/070927
