Make sure that you have automatic updates turned on.

Make sure that the Remote Procedure Call Locator is not disabled:
Click Start, select Run and type in:
services.msc
Locate " Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator".
If it is disabled, then right click on it, go to 'Properties', change to 'manual' and
Apply.
Try Windows Update Again

What causes Error 0x8ddd0018
http://www.updatexp.com/0x8ddd0018.html

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the
requested page" error message when you try to install an update
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;883614

BITS could be disabled or not started.

or:-
Click Start, select Run
In the Run box, type: regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
Click OK.

Also do the same for these two DLLs :
qmgr.dll
qmgrprxy.dll

After re-registering the dlls
Check here:-
Click Start, select Run, type: Regedit
locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\wuauserv

If you find a DeleteFlag value there, delete the DeleteFlag value.

Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.

I am running xp home edition and I do not have a run box showing after I
click on start. So how do I get to the run box?

Right click on the task bar, click PROPERTIES, then click START MENU tab. Look for
the CUSTOMIZE button next to the start menu preference. Click on the ADVANCED tab and
in the start menu options box look for the check box labelled RUN COMMAND and check
the box, click OK.

If that is not your problem:Restore the Run Command (Line 57)
