Not being able to windows update

[Guest Jorge E jaramillo]

After I formatted and reinstalled Windows XP on my 3 year old Dell, now I

can windowsupdate. I go into the update webpage and after it searches the

web and the PC, it gives me a message that can not proceed and that should

look for some help here (newsgroup).

 

Doesn't windows update work for old equipment? Mine is a valid PC no

pirating.

Hello Jorge,

 

Download and install SP1 and then SP3, after that try again.

 

Best regards

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.
