XP Activating and Update problem

[Guest CC]

I integrated the Service Pack 3 to a Windows XP with SP2, but problems

occured when I was logging, sometimes when I started the PC and typed the

password on the Welcome screen, it says that "A problem has prevented the

activating...error code xxxxx", I forgot the details. So I must reboot the

computer then F8 to boot the Safe Mode, then reboot the computer again to

normal mode, that message disappears.What is this???

And there's another problem. I attempt to install the Cumulative Security

Update for IE7(KB950759), it says successfully installed in the automatic

updates, but when I reboot the machine, it prompts this again, I download the

KB950759 and tried to install it manually, but the problem was the same, I've

shut down the firewall, but the problem is still there, so please help me.

Thanks!

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP

installation:

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
