I recently formatted my computer, by recently well, I mean about 2 weeks ago,
and I completely forgot to run windows update when everything was up and
running. My automatic update was turned off so I finally turned it on. So I
decided to run it today.

The following updates were not installed:
Security Update for Windows XP (KB928843)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB890859)

And when I visit the windows update page it tells me I haven't yet installed
any updates. So therefore none install and yet I've got plenty. I just don't
know why they're not installing or working at all.

Any ideas? Sorry if this is simple, I'm not great with computers, just basics.

Head to Microsoft.com and search for the updates you need and install them
manually. Or you can install each of the month's security patch disc if you
have a DVD ROM burner (the download takes images) to solve your issues.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086
It will tell you each of the months security downloads. Either way, it
takes a long time to do the downloads. Good luck:)

I've come to the conclusion that the windows update downloads all the updates
but constantly fails to install them.

Thank you for that.
Thus far, I've done & checked everything on that list.

It seems to be working, it downloaded and for once sucessfully Initialized
Installation. On update 14 of 72 as I write this right now. Hope it all works
right.

I appreciate the help very much.

*note to self: remember to do automatic updates right after formating and
re-installing windows* heh.

Hi Andrea,

Great we nailed it. Thanks for getting back to us with your success.
Nothing is more frustrating than supplying a fix and having the outcome just
go off into a bit bucket. This is a learning process for everyone here.

Take care
