Hi!
One month ago, I updated my "Windows Update" to "Microsoft Update" in order
to get Office XP and others updates.
Please, somebody can tell me how I can go back to "Windows Update"?

Thank you in advance.

Why? What problems are you encountering with Microsoft Update?

I would really like to know this because if there are problems
regarding Microsoft Update then I would like to check this out in
detail to see if they can be fixed or otherwise resolved.

Everything that is available through Windows Update is also equally
available via Microsoft Update. The only substantive difference is
that Microsoft Update also provides critical updates for other
Microsoft products such as Microsoft Office.

Good luck

There are no problem with Microsoft Update. It work OK.
But I have a dial up connection and Microsoft Update use more time than
Windows Update for checking for new updates.

Thank you for ask.

Go to the Microsoft Update web site.

Click on the "Change settings" link in the right-side column.
Scroll down to the very bottom of the page.
Click on the checkbox for "Disable Microsoft Update software and let
me use Windows Update only".
Then click on the "Apply changes now" button.

Good luck
