windows xp professional- booted in normal mode.

Problem: Every time I shutdown the pc it installs the same 7 security fixes.

I suspect that the registry isn't being updated to show that these have been
installed alredy (at least 20 times!).

How can I correct this (or check that the registry can be written to).

try this...

stop automatic updates service, then go to the windows folder and delete
everything under softwaredistribution
then start automatic updates service and see if it happens again
