Real Help for those who can't make the Windows Update Site work!

I found a lot of help here
http://www.helpwithwindows.com/techf...up-errors.html
I haven't been able to use the Windows Update site since installing SP2 on
my XP Home computer but could at least find out which updates I needed, then
search and install them individually. With this new development of the
"Genuine Validation Tool" I couldn't even find that to download. Luckily,
thanks to the above link, I found the Windows Catalog site where you can get
your downloads successfully again. Just go here

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp
and you can stop tearing your hair out!
