How to Repair this SVCHOST.EXE error

After some investigating into the 0X745f2780 SVCHOST error, it became apparent the problem is a corrupted Windows Update in Windows XP. Follow the steps below to fix this error.Verify Windows Update Service Settings
Click on Start, Run and type the following command in the open box and click OKservices.msc
Find the Automatic Updates service and double-click on it.
Click on the Log On Tab and make sure the "Local System Account" is selected as the logon account and the box for "allow service to interact with desktop" is UNCHECKED.
Under the Hardware Profile section in the Log On Tab, make sure the service is enabled.
On the General Tab, the Startup Type should be Automatic, if not, drop the box down and select Automatic.
Under "Service Status" on the General tab, the service should be Started, click the Start button enable it.
Repeat the steps above for the service "Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)" Re-Register Windows Update DLLs
Click on Start, Run, and type CMD and click ok
In the black command window type the following command and press Enter
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL
Wait until you receive the "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded" message and click OK
Repeat the last two steps above for each of the following commands:

Still at the command prompt, type %windir% and press Enter
In the opened folder, type the following command and press Enter to rename the SoftwareDistribution Folderren SoftwareDistribution SD_OLD
Restart the Windows Update Service by typing the following at the command promptnet start WuAuServ
type Exit and Press Enter to close the command prompt Reboot Windows
click on Start, Shut Down, and Restart to reboot Windows XP Although this method may not solve all of the issues with a SVCHOST.EXE Application error, I have found it fixed the problem with the 0x745f2780 reference error.
