updates download but wont install

i have been trying all day to install updates that have downloaded to my
computer. i formatted it last night but it has put me on to explorer 6 when i
tried to upgrade to 7 explorer just shuts down so i have had to restore to
take it back to 6. (not happy) but now it ries to install updates and fails
every time. please please help!

Try this:
start cmd.exe
net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll
net start wuauserv

Then try again. If this fails, try installing the latest WU Agent manually
from:

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP
installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when

If WinXP SP2 or SP3, try Resolution Method 2 here:
