I recently reinstalled XP Pro & now Update doesn't work. Every time that I
try to install updates, it fails. Why? What do I have to do to correct the
problem?

Thank you.

I wouldn't update at all if I were you. I can't prove it but M$
collects info thru the updates as well as thru the "error report"
scheme. You're fine.

Best guess:

Harry.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP
installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

Method 1 is usually sufficient.

What an *incredibly* absurd statement. What's wrong with installing
Critical Security Updates ?
You really need to loosen that tin foil hat and let your brain breathe.

Hi
Have you also updated the Service Packs? I believe that without the
Service packs installed, updates will not work.
