Can't use Update

[Guest pcnerd]

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.

Re: Can't use Update

 

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

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

 

Method 1 is usually sufficient.

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.

Barry

Re: Can't use Update

 

Will the same procedure help if I have Windows 2000. I can't get updates

either. Can anyone help with this?

Sure I am. I've been for the last 5 years, because nothing accesses

the net that I don't know about, and no one accesses my computer

besides the Shared Folder that I don't know about because I got a

Firewall with all ports stealth and a process manager that makes sure

nothing runs without my approval.

 

You just gotta take control of the OS.
