I had to replace a broken hard drive on my HP Pavillion desktop and restore
with the recovery CD's. I had lots of problems but finally got it to restore
and work but now the XP Automatic Update process is broken. Every time it
tries to download and install a patch I get an error message "Some updated
could not be installed" and nothing is installed. Most of the patches I can
then go in and download and install manually OK but there are a few that will
not install that way either. Is there any way to reinstall the XP Automatic
Updates software to get this working correctly? I see that others have
suggested malware but for me this is not the case because it stopped working
immediately after a fresh restore with my recovery CD's. I was able to
manually download and install XP Service Pack 3 and most fixes that pop up
with the Automatic Updates window.
