RE: Windows update question?
I had the same problem before, it's a known bug from Microsoft, however, I don't remember how I fixed it, but I know I did do some research for this. I did a research for you and found a forum that talks about this problem. One of the person has the solution. You can try the solution that he gives and hopefully it'll fix your problem too.

DOWNLOAD XP Qfecheck.exe = Verifies the Installation of Windows XP Hotfixes = http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai... , once installed you go to run -cmd -and type qfecheck at the dos prompt and you will get a list of all the hotfixes. and it will tell you if it needs to be reinstalled. You can also try Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit = http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html put these sites into your Trusted Zone in IE and allow them as exceptions in your firewall http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsu... http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupd... http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.a... The way I have mine set is to only notify me that updates are availiable, but to not download them automaticaly. Then I can check to be sure I get just the ones I want. I then click on "custom", and after the updates have been downloaded I look them over to see which ones I want, then disconnect from the internetnet, disable firewall and anti-virus program, and then install the updates I want, and click "Don't tell me again" on the ones I don't want, and then re-enable the firewall and anti-virus programs before reconnecting to the net. = http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525 Also Check to be sure pc clock-date is correct. http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/tr... http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusuppor... http://windowsxp.mvps.org/aupolicy.htm http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/wufix.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_u.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919749 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defaul... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Brows...
