My error message states:

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

If you don’t have Automatic Updates in the list of services, that means you need to go to the Microsoft Update website and allow it to install the necessary components. Also, you might have to install the latest XP Service Pack, which is SP2 right now.
