Hello,

I upgraded my XP Home installation to XP Professional SP2. Following the
upgrade 89 updates downloaded but they won't install. The computer
subsequently powers down. The next time I boot up the same events occur
again - 89 updates download but they won't install.

Any help to solve this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update,
from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after
you repair a Windows XP installation

(Try it even if you did a clean, not repair, installation.)
(Try it even if you performed some sort of restore - not repair install.)
(Try it even if you did an upgrade installation.)

Do all suggested methods.
