Which updates specifically?

Are these Critical Updates or other/driver updates?

Recommendation:

1. If you are not logged in as an Admin, please do this and try Updates
again.

2. If you use Pop-up Blocking or Antivirus software please disable this and
try again.

3. If you are behind a firewall this could prevent Windows Update from
functioning normally.

4. If you have an RC0 (non-SP1) version of Windows XP, try installing SP1
first, then check for critical updates.

5. Review the details of the specific updates being offered for more
information about System Requirements.

6. Please explore the Windows Update Troubleshooter:
