Guest PeterV200 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I have just got a new PC, and had the hard drive in my previous PC copied over to the new one. It runs Windows XP Pro and Office Pro 2003 Windows Updates has downloaded 77 updates but they wont install. My Previous PC was fully up to date, so I am a little puzzled as to why there are so many updates to install in the first place. I have installed the current versions of Windows Advantage and also Windows Installer. After doing this it appeared that all the updates except 4 of them had been installed, but i cannot find them and when I rebooted my PC it seems I am back to where I started. Please can anyone offer some help on how to solve this problem Regards Peter V

First install the newly released 'standalone' version of Windows Update Agent 3.0, v7.0.6000.374 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494 2. Now (re)install this (updated) fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891 NB: Windows Update/Automatic Updates started offering 927891 on 22 May-07. If "Update for Windows XP (KB927891)" is listed in Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked), it's already installed. cf. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/927891.mspx 3.
