Hi,

I have been unable to update my Windows XP system. I
download the patch (or the automatic update downloads
them). When I start the installation, the "Updating your
system" window has a "Inspecting your current
configuration" and it hangs there. I have tried this
several times and waited several hours but to no avail.

Does anyone out there know a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance

Gopi
