When i try to update my version of windows XP I get the
message stating that my version of windows xp cannot be
updated. How can I fix this. I am running a version of xp
that was insatlled on my system when I purchased it.
 
Greetings

Go to Run > Start and type: WINVER , and hit enter.

If "Version 5.1 (Build 2600) is not shown, you are running an old
obsolete beta version of XP for which there is no update support. If
that's the case, you need to reformat your drive and install
the released version of XP, after purchasing it.
