Upgrading to XP Pro from XP Home

W

Wally

I have just upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro and now microsoft update does not
work. It currently shows 94 updates as being required and successfully
downloads all. However none are able to be installed with a generic warning
that something in my computer is preventing the installation. I have tried
some basic fixes to no avail. Any suggestions welcome.

regards,

Wally

need some more information from your side.
Goto start>run and type windowsupdate.log and it will open a file. Goto the
end of the file and copy the contents and paste it here.
That will give us an exact idea as to why we are not able to install updates

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update,
from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after
you repair a Windows XP installation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

Can't figure that out?

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot will be needed.

- Download/Install Windows Update v3.

http://download.windowsupdate.com/W...one/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
(You *may* need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce"
right after the reboot - immediately after logging in.)

- Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

- Reboot.

- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates.

- Come back and let us know how things went!
