WinXP update works but failure

Hi!
Just got the yellow icon meaning I have updates. Well, I updated the three
High Priority (HP) updates (KB938127, KB936181, Net Framewk 1.1 SP1). And it
seemed to go well no error messages. But upon completion is list all three
updates as install failures.

So I reboot and get yellow icon and sure enough the three updates are still
on the HP update list. But now they are listed as 0KB download and 0 minutes
to install.

I just got a new machine and loaded WinXP with SP2. Then updated to SP3 the
other night. So I am wondering how do I fix it so it records what I have
done correctly?

Thanks

The updates did not install. The fact that there were no error messages
displayed during the installation attempt is by design.

Also normal; this just means the updates are already downloaded.

Try the resolutions from this article:

Try method 1 first and see if the installs now work. If not, try method 2. If
they still fail, go to the Start Menu, select Run, type "windowsupdate.log"
(without the quote marks) and press ENTER. Post the last hundred lines from the
log file to this newsgroup.

Hi Craig, see this article (ignore the title)

Usually method 1 is sufficient.

Thanks for the help.
I used Method 1 and it seems to be working now.

Thanks again
