I am reinstalling windows xp home edition on my laptop computer. The
original windows on this maching did not come with SP2. I went to the
updates site for windows xp and downloaded SP2 which works fine. The problem
is that the update site now wants me to install auto update file 3.1. The
update site already installed auto update file 3.1v2, and won't let me
install the 3.1 version or let me download any updates until the 3.1 version
is installed. Microsofts solution to this problem is to uninstall auto
update 3.1v2 by using add/remove programs under the control panel. The
update 3.1v2 does not show up on the updates list, (i do have the show
updates box at the top checked ). Does anyone know what update file the auto
update 3.1v2 is located in so i can delete it and get on with my life.
 
Sorry to tell you, this is a .Net programming newsgroup. For Windows
questions, post to a group with "Windows" in the description.
