Programs won't update

[BenjaminM]

I just did a clean install of windows XP on a Vista machine, and most of the software have errors connecting to the database (desktop maestro, comodo firewall, driver genius, etc) The only program that succeeded in updating was Malwarebytes. Can anyone diagnose my problem please? I have SP3.
