Just carried out a week long repair installation of windows XP pro, overcoming all sorts of problems with hanging at 34 minutes, motherboard drivers not installing, failing to read compressed files from the XP Pro CD, then hanging at the activation screen

(wouldn't let me log on, or get to the acvtivation screen), I got round it bu installing IE8 then used the telephone service to activate XP Pro. Currently have Avira AV newly installed, and just got rid of Avast as it is not quite as good according to the

latest test report from VB100.

 

Anyway popped along to get security updates (116) and all failed. Allowed Microsoft's fixit tool to have a look at the problem and it failed. It said the that the Windows Update component needs repairing.

 

I am currently in safe mode with networking.
