I recently had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall my windows xp home
edition w/sp2 and now i am unable to download and install updates from
msupdate. They will download but fail to install. No error message.
 
Select, Start, Help and Support, Keep your Windows up- to-date with
Windows Update, Review your Update History and click on the Failed Icon
(if any) in the Status Column. What does it say for the failed update??

Thanks for the imput but been there done that and didn't help still looking
around the kb to find info. peace out
 
What was the Error code?

What does it say in the WindowsUpdate.log located in C:\windows. You
will find a long list as the log is cumulative. Please copy the section
covering the relevant attempt to update.

A better newsgroup for update problems is
microsoft.public.windowsupdate
