Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:
Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )
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
Reboot after each method.
Visit
http://windowsupdates.microsoft.com/ and do a custom scan for updates.
If it asks you to update anything/install anything upon visiting
(immediately) - do so and agree to things. Then continue with a CUSTOM
scan.
Do *not* get drivers (hardware) and whether or not you get Software
(Optional) is as it indicated - optional. Do get Critical updates.
Come back - let us know.
