No Installs

Hi;
I just recently re-installed Windows XP Home on my HP laptop with 2Gb MEM,
Internet Explorer 7, and I upgraded that to Windows XP Professional. My
updates were working the entire time after I completed installing Home, then
when I installed Pro, I can no longer get updates, either PRIORITY or CUSTOM.
When I do, the specs on the ready to install page say: 79 updates, 0Kbs, 0
Min (Download; ready to install) Estimated time at your connection speed; 0
Mins, (Download size(total) 0Kb)
Then I get: Some units were not Installed, The following updates were not
installed-all 79.
Finally, i get:Problem: A problem on your computer is preventing updates
from being downloaded or installed
Solution: To fix the problem, try installing the updates
again. If that doesn't work, use the Troubleshooter to try solve the problem.
I did those things with no results. Sounds like there might be a parameter,
possibly in the resgistry, that might be set wrong or not at all. Please
help. Thanks.

Hi;
Thanks for the advice, but I still can't get any updates to install. I did
run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostics and after it corrected a
couple of failures, everything passed. I also ran Registry Mechanic which I
own and it did find plenty of things to fix and did so. I initially ran the
PC Registry Cleaner which you recommended, but being a trial version it would
not fix most of the problems it found without me having to install a full
copy. Registry Mechanic actually found more errors than PC Registry. But,
bottom line, I still can't install updates. I don't know what could have
changed after I upgraded to XP Pro from XP Home, because as I mentioned, the
updates were working fine in Home. Any other suggestions??? Thanks.

To be sure, I recommend CCleaner this program is Free http://www.ccleaner.com/
there is a rouge programs with similar if not close names. I don't see any
reference about PC Registry Cleaner in the post.

Do you try Dial-a-Fix?

Read that thread and follow the steps. Check the final instructions on the
second page. regards using the cleaner in safe mode. Read what Dasha found
runing the CCleaner Issues.
