Trying to run Windows Update

When i run "wupdmgr.exe" i get the message below, even after i follow the instructions i still get the same message... i have NOT installed any service packs yet, could that be the reason?

What happens if you go to the update site manually? http://www.windowsupdate.com/
It should work although no updates are installed.
