problems with updates after a repair install

[Guest sgopus]

I had to do a repair install of xp pro, now windows update, tells me a huge

list of updates are available, but none will install, it tries to install and

fails all the time.

I'm using ie6. can someone suggest a fix.

My repair install used a brand new OEM install cd with service pack 2b.

Re: problems with updates after a repair install

 

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

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

installation:

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

 

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

Thanks to both of you, that seems to have done the trick.
