I recently reinstalled XP Pro & now Update doesn't work. Every time that I
try to install updates, it fails. Why? What do I have to do to correct the
problem?
Thank you.

I wouldn't update at all if I were you. I can't prove it but M$
collects info thru the updates as well as thru the "error report"
scheme. You're fine. |

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP
installation or you repair a Windows XP installation
[Try Resolutions Method 1 and/or 2]

NB: Ignore the title, if necessary; also applies to Upgrade installs, and
Recovery installs.

What an *incredibly* absurd statement. What's wrong with installing
Critical Security Updates ?
You really need to loosen that tin foil hat and let your brain breathe.

Hi
Have you also updated the Service Packs? I believe that without the
Service packs installed, updates will not work.

Will the same procedure help if I have Windows 2000. I can't get updates
either. Can anyone help with this?

Method 1 is usually sufficient.
