anyone tell me how to overcome this?

This is a GENUINE copy of XP as supplied installed with my DELL computer.

Thanks

Have you got Service pack 2 installed ?
If not the that will need installing first.

johnroberts07

The best thing to do is format your pc and re-install windows, but make sure you make copies of stuff you need to keep first

Cant re-install.

The re-install disc supplied doesn't accept the ident number on side of machine and lovely DELL dont want to know. Have asked for a replacement xp disc to no avail so I'm a bit stuffed.

You haven't been infected (though its always good to check), your PC isn't running properly.
Have you tried downloading them one at a time?

I've had the same problem. I've downloaded the smallest first and this has been successful except the largest updates still won't download and install. So anyone with any ideas?
I keep my 'puta well protected etc.
Thanks:eek:

flossy_splodge

In my case I'm running windows 2000 with all service packs downloaded. Any ideas?

You can try this...

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix Windows Installer, fix Windows Update, and all the
Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Then click "GO"

Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Reboot and try again with the updates...
