How can I fix this Shutdwn FATALE: WUCheckForUpdatesAtShutdown failed and WUAutoUpdateAtShutdown problem?

Recently, I checked WindowsUpdate.log my computer, I have continued to see the next line of the FATAL error writing here whenever I start the computer and about to close. He said something like this:

2010-07-29 00:56:47:906 1156 4 c 0 Misc = logging initialized (build: 7.4.7600.226, tz: + 0800) =.

I don't know what the problem with my computer, the newspaper of keep generating these FATAL errors each and every time. I'm sorry that I can't get anything else in the newspaper other than that because I didn't know that old newspapers have been removed by the cleaner software.

So far, here are the problems I've met so far in my computer with this FATAL, but I don't know if it actually caused that:

  • My browser was arrested by force when I clicked on a link. It happens rarely and on some microsoft sites.
  • It is difficult to describe it. Once in a while, my computer will boot in a strange pattern, unless I'm defragging my computer. Caps/number on the keypad lock remains light throughout the loading screen until half out of the light, the letters of words like "press ESC to go to config" came out slowly and one by one. Usually the lock of the Caps/number will blink for some time and remain extinguished after the initialization of the operating system.

These are the things that I have tried or done to try to solve the problem but until now none of them work:

  • I have manually update Windows and installed the SP3 for my XP, thinking he's going to replace corrupted files.
  • I have stop/restart automatic update and the PIECES in the service.msc window services. Whatever it is, there's always this error FATAL so I decided to disable both services at the moment.
  • I tried to use a MS-DOS batch file called WUFix.bat that someone provided to fix my problem, WindowsUpdate.log still gives the same once I used it and restart my computer later.
  • I thought that the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll file was corrupted so I decided to replace it with a new one, but still nothing changes.

I think it's all the details I gave to my problem, I tried not to do anything else major other I listed out above. I still think that's the problem with the file since the FATAL c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll came right after this and it has to do with Windows updates and everything. This error has been there for a few weeks and even if there is no critical errors have occurred to date, it is still bugging me.

If there is no solution that I can do to solve this problem, I would be happy if you can explain step by step. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

EDIT: I do not understand why this is posted in the Windows 7 forum when I chose Windows XP. Anyway, hope someone can help me with this.

Does this mean I should keep the auto update turned on all the time in order to avoid the error reappear?
