Can't install Windows Updates
I have installed Window XP with SP2 and I am not able to install Windows Updates manually. Atleast there are 12 updates that are showing as by the Express search and it will download and then after downloading I am getting a dialog box that says "Some Updates Were Not Installed". I have listed all the updates below that are not getting installed. The only error that I am getting is "Problem: A problem on your computer is preventing updates
from being downloaded or installed. Solution: To fix the problem, try installing the updates again. If that doesn't work, use the Troubleshooter to try solve the problem."
