windows update

[Guest]

When I try to use windows update, it downloads the update
starts to install and then it will stop and give an error
message saying: The software you are installing has not
passed windows logo testing to verify its compatability
with windows XP. Is there a virus I dont know about
because the software I am downloading is for windows.

It also says: contact your system Administrator, well as
far as I know I am the adminitrator.

Please Help

It sounds like you are trying to update a driver. Don't take the drivers
from MS updates. Go to the web-site for the hardware and download the driver
from them. Windows update drivers tend to be problematic.

LOL, JAX

What do you mean "nothing works correctly?" Are you having/implying an
objective problem? ... seems more like frustration at old M$...

Run services.msc

Scroll to cryptography. If it is disabled, set it to automatic, reboot and
get the updates again.
