After doing a repair install of my Windows XP PRO /SP3, I tried to upgrade to Windows Media Player 11. It keeps failing and says that I need to restart my computer. This also happened with Internet Explorer 8. The message I get was "Windows Internet
Explorer cannot install because another program or update is waiting to restart your computer. Restart your computer and run this setup again." I have repeatedly restarted my computer.MS Updates don't download and install, even after Fix It and after downloadin a new Windows Update Agent 3.0 (which did download AND install). Other programs can install without issue, just the ones from Microsoft.I have searched the registry for file rename keys and also seached for anything that might be asking for the system to restart. I find nothing. Tried a lot of ideas from seaching on how to update, including I have deleted the Update cache and registered
all the necessary update dll s including the wups2.dll and to no success.Would really like to use IE 8 (again) and use Media Player 11 so that I can use my Amazon UnBox to view a paid for downloaded TV show.VernIdeas????
