won't install

[scottso]

The company that "upgraded" my computer over a year ago
is out of business. They installed Windows XP
pro, "cleaned and upgraded everything". I have been
unable to install any windows updates. I've tried a
number of things. The computer downloads then just stops
and sits there and won't install the updates. Can't
install Java updates either. HELP ANYONE?!!!

Windows Update Is Not Installed

This issue may occur if you use the AOL Web browser interface to access and
download Windows Updates. The AOL Web browser does not communicate properly
with the Windows Installer software, and this may cause Windows Installer to
stop responding.
