[XPPro] UN-XPsp3. Now updates won't install

I recently UN-installed XPsp3 because it made ~3 minute boot time.
...back to ~30 second.
Now I get some updates that won't install.

Update says it wants to install 8 items.


Then it says 5 items couldn't install.


When I try to download and install the updates manually, I get the missing installation branch message.

Then next boot, all 8 items want to be installed again.

I was going to say maybe they don't support SP2, but looking at the details for KB958470, it says SP2 and SP3.

If you look at your system properties, what SP does it say is installed? It's possible that uninstalling SP3 disabled some things that should be present in SP2.
