Bill;
What exactly happens.
Your lack of using spell checking makes it difficult to understand.

If Windows XP is OEM all support (if any) comes from seller and none
from Microsoft.
If Windows XP is retail, you normally get two free support calls.

As for your lawsuit, try all you want, but with the generalities you
have provided will make it a waste of time.

Try these for the Windows Update issues (if that is your problem)

****Sections changed 30 June 2003****
POST BACK WITH THE EXACT INFORMATION FROM STEP 18 if all else fails.

1. Reboot computer then try updates one at a time if issue involved
multiple updates.

2. Check Date/Time

3. What version?
Right click My Computer, click Properties?
What EXACTLY does it say?

4. Disable firewall

5. Disable antivirus

6. (Windows XP):
Reboot computer.

Greetings --

Is English a second or third language for you? If so, may I
suggest that you try posting your question in a news group dedicated
to your native language? I say this not to insult or offend, but
rather to point out that you're not likely to get much help, if no one
can understand what you're saying.

Otherwise, I'd suggest you try reposting in standard English,
complete with paragraphs, sentences, capital letters where
appropriate, and punctuation. As it is, your post is almost
completely undecipherable: the some of the words used are from the
English language, but are almost completely meaningless as currently
assembled.
