Hello everybody.

I re-installed my PC :
- XP
- mother board drivers
- XP SP2
- ATI Radeon 9250 graphic card driver
- Winzip, Adobe reader, Windows live mail, live messenger, ...

And then, when the Windows Update notification icon appears, it
disappears when I click on it.

Any body as an idea about this subject ?

Thank you for advance.

Sincerely.

Fred.

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

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.

As in, since you installed SP3 maybe? If so: Uninstall and it'll
probably work. Check MS for the "fix", I don't have a link handy.
