When updating windows, after scanning for updates, I show
no critical updates to install, but eight (8) windows
updates. "Windows XP (8)"

But when I select on this, "Windows XP(8)",I again get
the window "Welcome to Windows Update", and the selection
to "Scan for updates". If I select to "Scan for updates",
it scans again, showing there are no critical updates,
but eight (8) windows updates. It will continue in this
loop forever.

If there are ever any critical updates, it will install
these fine without going into a loop.

Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand your post correctly - the Windows Updates you are seeing
aren't Critical Updates. They are updates unrelated to security which
you *might* want, like a new Windows Media Player or DirectX 9 or the
like. If you don't want to see something after you've decided it's not
for you (the .NET stuff for instance), then click on "Personalize
Windows Update".
