Downloads

Thanks for replying! I am trying that now - However I get the following:
Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)

Cannot download

That is my problem I guess - But I do have a valid copy of XP or it will
tell me so...

First Try this:
CleanUp your caches, internet files and delete cookies.

Then Open the windows Explorer and locate this path:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributions\Download and the same with Updates,
remove all failed updates and the failed downloads from there.
Run disk clean up then Reboot your machine.
Do you have Anti-Virus or a third party-Firewall, Anti-spyware can corrupt
or interfere in the installation process try ti Disable it and perform the
installations of the updates.

HTH.
Let us know.

Give us the errors you see - or any clue what-so-ever as to what happens
when you try.

Also - if you download the 'IT Professional' version of the update and try
to run it from your machine - what happens?

Have you looked in the Event Log for the errors being reported there?

What Service Pack are you at now?

Beyond you giving us more information - you can try the following...

I suggest doing the following - perhaps in safe mode if it gives you trouble
in normal mode (do normal first) - and seeing if it fixes whatever problem
you have...

I'm going to give you a response that should cover most bases. It is not
mine - but it may do the trick for you...
(It covers a lot of bases.)

Reboot your computer and have nothing open before you start the steps....
Just log in and follow them, then when it has you rebooting - first thing
you should try is visiting http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and seeing
what happens (in Internet Explorer.) Please come back and report!

I suggest you post to the experts in the windows update newsgroup and
provide more relevant information such as the configuration of your system,
how you're accessing the internet, how you get the updates, and what error
messages you get when the installations fail.

Windows Update newsgroup on the web.
