You probably need to go in to your services and enable it there first.

Kellys-Korner has a fix for it.Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to Line 179 and on the right side of the page, click on "Windows Update Greyed Out - Restore".Then follow the directions at the top of the page.

Finely thanks so much I got it to work with this>>>>
To make the Automatic Updates options configurable by the user (only for stand-alone systems), remove the restrictions 2 & 3 above. * Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT.EXE * Navigate to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ WindowsUpdate \ AU * In the right-pane, delete the two values AUOptions and NoAutoUpdate * Navigate to this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ WindowsUpdate
