Up until this point, I have never had any issues whatsoever with Windows
Update. A little while ago, as was required, I validated my copy of Windows
XP in order to continue to use Windows Update (my copy, incase it comes up,
is completely legal and came with my system). Ever since that day, I have not
been able to use Windows Update. When I boot up my system, or reboot, I am
able to go to the update page, it scans like it always does, and it then
shows me the updates. Upon trying to actually download and install them, it
just sits there and does... nothing except bring up the box where it says
"Installing Updates." After five minutes or so, it comes up and states that
all updates failed to install or nothing at all comes up, and it completely
freezes (normally it is the freezing one). Now, after that, I can no longer
even visit the page to re-scan for updates. If I do, that particular window
just freezes, and I have to eventually manually "End Task" to get rid of it.
I have to reset my system to actually try again.
I checked for updates this evening, and there are now nine critical ones...
each and every one has failed to download and install. I have absolutely no
idea what is going on. My system is stable, and I have no other issues beyond
this. Again, this began a few weeks back when I visited the site, and I had
to confirm my copy of Windows XP. I did just that, and no errors came up,
nothing came back stating there were any issues whatsoever.
If you need any further information on anything, please just ask. Any help
or input is hugely appreciated. Thanks to everyone!
