I have read all the other comments reharding this issue. Since some of them
deal with Vista, I wanted to start my own thread.

I have XP with SP3. Everytime I try to update windows components (I just
installed Office Extrerprise 2007 as well) I get the WUAUCLT.EXE error
pointing to 0x76c941a9. I am not sure if this number means anything, since
this is not the only one I have ever seen.

I have seen a lot of things from people to try. Is there a current thought
on how to correct this. I rebuilt my entire system (wiped my hard drive,
reinstalled XP wih SP3) and the problem did not go away.

HELP!! :-)

Are you using IE to visit Windows Update or is the error occurring from
Automatic Updates ?
Try another attempt at updating. If you're using IE to access WU, close
IE. Then open the WindowsUpdate.log (WU.log) and scroll all the way to
the bottom for the most recent entries.
Copy and paste at least the *last* 50 or so lines of the WU.log into
your reply, please: How to read the Windowsupdate.log file
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093

You could try to reset the Windows Update software components but, *if*
the issue stems from the connection to the WU servers and not the OS,
then it's a waste of time: How do I reset Windows Update components?

I am using both auto updates and the WU site, and I get the errors both time.
I did notice that some updates took, while other didnt.

Suggest you reset Windows Update components:

How do I reset Windows Update components?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

Click the Fixit button and choose to *save* MicrosoftFixit50202.msi, do
*NOT* choose to run it.

Next, clean boot XP. Either use the Guided Help or Method 2 here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

When the system has been clean booted, with the system connected to the
net or network, run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose the Aggressive
mode. Doing that will rename the subfolders where updates are stored and
reinstall the Windows Update Agent.
When the Fixit has finished it's operations, restart the system.

Undo the steps laid out in KB310353 and restart to normal Windows mode.
Now see if it can update.
