This seems to be a common problem For XP SP2 Home.

There is a fix that involves a cleanup tool that uninstalls the .net programs, but also breaks any applications that depend on it, so I wouldn't suggest it if you happen to come across it.

But, try downloading this update seperately and installing it manually here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

If you have an ATi video card and are running the Catalyst Control Center, you may have to close it before running this update.
