the AUTO window comes up again the very next day. The updates are: 840315,
841873 & 842773. I have tried restarting and making sure the updates are on
Automatic but nothing works. Anything would be of help.

Windows Update Is Not Installed - WinXP

You are using a version of the AOL software earlier than AOL 8.0 Plus.
-and-
You use the AOL Web browser interface to access and download Windows Updates.
The AOL Web browser that is included with versions of the AOL program that are
earlier than AOL 8.0 Plus did not communicate correctly with the Windows
Installer software. As a result, Windows Installer may stop responding.

Updates fail to install and you receive error message 0x80070643 - WinXP

Thanks Kaylene but I checked my updates in Add/Remove and they don't show up there either. ??? I don't use AOL and I've gotten every critical update plus some Hot Fixes are installed but they don't have the same numbers for the patch.

I will delete the key in my registry, if it's there and let you know if this fixes the problem. I've seen many others with the same problem over the last week. Curious isn't it??? Thanks again!

Here is a direct link to the Catalog:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

Also, try installing those items, one at a time. That will help narrow down
which item in particular is failing to install.
