Guest gordo Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I am sure this has been covered before, but I am using Outlook Express and I do not know how to search the archives. I have XP Pro installed with SP3 and plenty of memory, both disk and on board (2gb). I tried Microsoft Update and received the message that 11 updates failed to install, even after several tries. Is there a definitive fix to this problem? The updates apparently downloaded OK. Thanks, Gordo
