My windows xp won't update. It just keeps installing the same file (MSXML
4.0 SP2 Security Update (KB927978)) over and over as an update and won't get
any new ones.

When I go to the update page, it just continues looking and looking for
updates endlessly.

Wally,

Is MSXML 4.0 SP2 ((KB927978) listed in Add/Remove Programs ?
Also, id KB925672 listed under Windows XP - Software Updates ?

Uninstall them if they are listed, rebooting the system after each
uninstall. Also, every attempt to install KB927978 will result in a
randomly named folder on the drive that has the most free space. If
there is only one drive or partition, then they will be on the C:\ drive.
Each of the folders contains an installation log, msxml4-KB927978-enul.log
You can safely delete ALL of the randomly named folders.

Download MSXML 4.0 SP2 ((KB927978 and save it from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...B-6F18FE6921D4

Close the browser. Install msxml4-KB927978-enu.exe and then reboot.

Did that resolve the issue ? If not, locate the newly created randomly
named folder and post the contents of the msxml4-KB927978-enul.log, please.
