For no apparant reason my Windows XP SP2 box is logging an error in the event
log says "The Automatic Updates Service Hung on Startup". If I look in the
services applet the automatic updates service just says "Starting" and it
never starts. I had been using automatic updates just fine until recently
and I haven't installed anything new on the machine in a long time. Anyone
have any idea how to fix this or reinstall the automatic updates services?
Thanks.
