Updates not installing from microsoft updates

[Guest]

I recently had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall my windows xp home
edition w/sp2 and now i am unable to download and install updates from
msupdate. They will download but fail to install. No error message.

Select, Start, Help and Support, Keep your Windows up- to-date with
Windows Update, Review your Update History and click on the Failed Icon
(if any) in the Status Column. What does it say for the failed update??

What was the Error code?

What does it say in the WindowsUpdate.log located in C:\windows. You
will find a long list as the log is cumulative. Please copy the section
covering the relevant attempt to update.

A better newsgroup for update problems is
microsoft.public.windowsupdate

hidden files and find the placeses i needed to go thanks peace out
