Updates not installing during reboot

[Chris Barnes]

I just completed a fresh install of WinXP Tablet from a cd w/ SP2
slipstreamed in. All went well.

Did the first couple of sets of updates, including the SP3 update.
Good. Then installed Office 2007 and did the update, which installed
Microsoft Update (the newer, nicer version).


Now the computer is telling me it needs to Turn Off to install 22
updates. I do it & it looks like the updates are installing (get the
"don't turn off your computer" message).

Computer seems to finish; turn it back on. Trying to do the next round
of updates fails (one of the updates is for IE7) - the "turn off" button
again having the little icon that it needs to finish doing the updates.
It *looks* like it is the same 22 updates it was doing above.

I also tried doing the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144



Suggestions?

Since when does a window update install during pc shutdown.....Try disabling
auto updates,open microsoft update,select custom,install updates in IE.You
might also open cmd,type:Sfc /Scannow Install xp cd,exit the menu page,once
its thru,type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree to restart,type:EXIT Remove cd,restart
pc...

How about slipstreaming in SP3 and doing an install that way? NLite is
brainless easy for doing that and at least you'd know if installing
SP3 after a fresh SP2 is what's tripping things up on the downloads
side of things.

Revisist the newly revised http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 and try
Method 1 and Method 2, Chris.

If still no joy, I've got something else you might try.
