I HAVE TRIED TWICE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE WINDOWS
UPDATES. I HAVE WINDOWS XP- IT TAKES ME FIVE HOURS TO
GET IT TO DOWNLOAD AND THEN ONCE DOWNLOADING REACHES THE
FINISHING POINT IT FAILS TO INSTALL. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED
AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET ON THIS PROBLEM.
I AM RUNNING THE UPDATES ON AOL. THANKS.

Kim;
Minimize AOL and Open Windows Update directly
Start/All Programs/Windows Update.
Select Service Pack first and alone.
Reboot
Install Windows XP Rollup 1 alone if not already installed.
Reboot
Install Critical Updates no more than three at a time
Reboot between each group

Otherwise follow the Windows Update Checklist:
