SERIOUS PROBLEMS USING WINDOWS UPDATE AFTER INSTALLING XP PRO SP2

IM HAVING SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS USING WINDOWS UPDATE AFTER INSTALLING WINDOWS
XP PRO W/SP2. MY COMPUTER ORIGINALLY CAME WIT WINDOWS XP HOME BUT AFTER A
RECENT CRASH WHICH DAMAGED THE HARD DRIVE I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT XP PRO W/SP2
FROM MY LOCAL BEST BUY. IT INSTALLED GREAT. BUT WHEN I GOT 2 RUN WINDOWS
UPDATES IT JUST CONTINUES 2 SCAN. MY CPU USAGE ALSO GOES ALL THE WAY UP 2
100% AFTER A FEW MINUTES. IN THE TASK MANAGER IT SAYS THAT SVCHOST IS USING
AT A MINIMUM 97% THIS SEEMS ABNORMALLY HIGH 2 ME. THE SCAN BAR CONTINUES 2
MOVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS AND I ALSO CANT CLOSE THE WINDOW UNLESS I CLICK END
TASK IN THE MANAGER AND END SVCHOST. ALSO DURING THIS PROCESS AFTER A FEW
MINS THE NETWORK TAB IN THE TASK MANAGER STATES THAT IM NOT RECIEVING NOR
SENDING ANY DATA. MY COPY IS GENUINE AND IS ACTIVATED. ALSO IF I PULL THE
DRIVE OUT OF MY OTHER COMPUTER (IT RUNS XP HOME SP/2) AND PUT IT IN THIS ONE
UPDATE WORKS FINE (IT JUST WONT WORK WITH THE ONE RUNNING XP PRO). ALSO I
HAVE MY COMPUTER SET 2 NOTIFY ME BUT NOT D/L UPDATES BUT IM NOT GETTING ANY
NOTIFICATION. IM JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM OR IF
ANYONE KNOWS HOW 2 FIX IT.

Looks as if your caps lock is bust - cant make any sense from trying to read
this thread - sorry
