I opened my "view installation history" of updates and
discovered to my horror, that several updates had
repeatedly installed (hundreds of times) acounting for a
total accumulation of over 6,000 (six thousand) items.
Prior to this, I could not access Windows Update; I
constantly received an "Administrators Only" error.
After an exhaustive consultation with the "big guns" the
solution remained elusive. WINXP repair was next executed,
but to no avail, except to result in deletion of some
files, including the existing Updates.
After some time away from the computer, I returned to do a
clean reinstall of WINXP and decided, out of curiosity, to
take another look for Windows Update. To my total
astonishment, there it was in all its glory (and its new
suit).
I elected to reinstall the missing Updates, and sometime
later discovered the anomaly of the repeat installs. Any
helpful suggestions would be music to my ears.
Thanks a million.
