Can someone please tell me (in basic language) how I can get me computer to accept the critical upgrades.
I have downloaded but it comes up with "verify integrity of file Update.inf????
Can anyone tell me what I should do.
 
Hi,

Reinstall the update site controls. To reinstall the Windows Update site
controls, you must first remove the old controls. The following are generic
steps for all versions of Windows, so not all may apply to your system:

Remove Controls:
1. Click on Start, then Run.
2. Type in 'regsvr32 iuctl.dll /u' (without the quotes) click OK. You should
get a successful message, click OK on that as well.
3. Click on Start/search/files, choose to look in C:\
4. Type in the file name IUCTL.DLL and click Search Now. Delete every copy
of this file that you find.
5. Run the search again for the file IUENGINE.DLL. Again, delete every copy
of this file you find.

Delete Windows Update files:
1. Double-click on My Computer.
2. Open the C drive
3. Open the Program Files folder
4. Open the Windows Update folder.
5. Delete everything in the folder except the V4 folder.
6. Next, Open the V4 folder, if it exists.
7. Delete everything in the folder except the iuhist.xml file
8. Close Window

Then revisit the WindowsUpdate site and you will be prompted to reinstall
the V4 site controls.

Do you have any antivirus program installed. If yes, try disabling it while
updating.
Also, make sure you are logged on with Administrator privileges.
If you run OEM XP - i.e. XP came with your machine or it is not a retail
version - you might have to check the vendor's site.

P.S. As a good rule, anyone seeking help here should specify OEM or Retail
version of XP
