Updates Aren't Installing

[jim evans]

As a result of some problems I was having a couple of weeks ago I
installed XP on top of my existing installation trying to correct the
problems. It seems like this fixed the problem, but now many updates
won't install. XP downoads the updates then when it tries to install
them it comes back with a very long list (50-60) updates saying they
could not be installed. Every day when I start the computer it
downloads them all again and again fails to install them.

What's this all about and how do I get it to install the updates?

download this little freebie http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix and use the
WU/WUAU section to fix.
