This was a *clean* installation or a Repair Install of XP ?
Is there an antivirus/security suite installed and, if so, what is it ?
First step, open the Services console and check to see if Cryptographic
Services is Disabled on startup.

Double left click Cryptographic Services to see if it's Disabled next to

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following subfolder:
WINDOWS\ystem32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}
Once in the {F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE} subfolder, look for
all files that *start* with tmp. IF any exist, move them to the Recycle

*** DO NOT move any files to the Recycle Bin that do NOT start with

Restart the system and then do Method 4: Reregister DLL files that are

Does the Windows Update issue persist? I was under the impression that you
fixed it by getting rid of Windows Search.
If by "switch to Vista" you mean upgrade to Vista, I wouldn't recommend
doing so with the machine in its current state. If you do a format & clean
install of WinXP first, OK...but then that should resolve the problem
anyway.

The way I discovered that it was not wworking was because when I got the
computer back it downloaded Office 2007 Security stuff. I don't have Office
2007, but 2003. Then when I update my other computer (desktop), the laptop
would not find any updates for October and November.

1a. If you've purchased ZASS, uninstall AVG 8 via Add/Remove Programs and
reboot.
1b. If you've not purchased ZASS, uninstall ZASS via Add/Remove Programs and
reboot.
2. Make certain that Automatic Updates is enabled. If you enable it,
reboot, and then find it's disabled again, tell us.
3a. Test by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com,
3b. Does the link in #3a above take you to Windows Update or Microsoft
Update?

displayed on the General tab?
3. Are you running IE6 or IE7?
4. Open Add/Remove Programs | Make sure the Show Updates option (top right)
is checked | Scroll down: Are there any "Security Update for Windows XP

5a. What media (e.g., CDs) did you use to do the clean install of WinXP Pro
and where did you obtain it?
5b. If you used the CDs that came with your machine or used the hidden
Recovery partition to reinstall Windows, did the reinstall include a
free-trial version of any Norton or McAfee software? If so, is this
software still installed?

Did you install WinXP SP3 and IE7 manually, too, or were one or both

When did you installed WinXP SP3, was ZASS and/or AVG AV running in the
background?
Please confirm that you've tried both Method #1 and Method #2 in

The media was the CD that came with the computer.
The SP3 and IE 7 were installed from the web (automatic updates)
Zass & AVG were not installed them. They were installed afterwards.

I guess I will try to install all the updates from the site you mentioned
943144, of course I will have to go by dates 11/11/08

The date was 9/6/08.
The issue with IE 7 was caused by Windows Search 4. When uninstalled it the
issue was resolved.

Does the Windows Update issue persist? I was under the impression that you
fixed it by getting rid of Windows Search.
If by "switch to Vista" you mean upgrade to Vista, I wouldn't recommend
doing so with the machine in its current state. If you do a format & clean
install of WinXP first, OK...but then that should resolve the problem
anyway.

It still persists. What getting rid of windows search fixed, was IE 7 taking
forever to load.
