Autoupdates won't install

I reinstalled XP with Service pack 2, two weeks ago. Now 70 (more or less)
Updates download, but won't install. Each time I start it up, I have to go
through the download/ install operation, but they don't install. This is a 6
year old HP Pavilion. Updates worked fine prior to the reinstall. I've read
the troubleshooting more than once, but can't solve it.

Try one (or both) of these:
(Some have the best luck performing Solution 1, rebooting and performing
steps 3-6 of solution 2...)

Solution to try (1):

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"

Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Then click "GO"


Solution to try (2):

1) Reboot and logon as a user with Administrative Privs...
2) Immediately run the following batch script (You will have to create it by
cutting/pasting as directed.)

- Click Start, Run, type: notepad C:\register.bat and press Enter. Choose
Yes when you are prompted.
- Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window:

The Process may take sometime.

3) Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right
after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.)

4) Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...9-404327772E5A

5) Reboot.

6) Come back and let us know how things went!

Thanks, Shenan!
I did your first option, after reading Anna's reply. Updates are installing
as I type. I followed your instructions exactly. I didn't get to your second
option. Dial-AFix was written by a genius!!
