SYMPTOMS
When you try to install updates from the Windows Update Web site, from the
Microsoft Update Web site, or by using the Automatic Updates feature, you
receive a message that states that the update or the updates were not
installed successfully. However, the updates are not displayed in the Update
History part of the Web site.
You experience this problem if the following conditions are true in the
following scenarios:
Scenario 1• You try to update a computer that is running Windows XP.
• You have repaired the Windows XP installation by using the Windows XP CD.
Scenario 2• You try to update a computer that is running Windows XP.
• You have performed a new installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).
• You have visited Windows Update site directly for updates and immediately
performed an update to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).
and this so far nothing has fixed the problem any other ideas?
