I have had to reinstall winXP Pro on two machines on my network recently. On
both machines, after the reinstall was complete, I rebooted and logged into
the network without any problems. Windowsupdate immediately found 1 update to
install. I believe it was Windows Installer 3.0. It installed without any
problems. After a reboot, Windowsupdate found around 50 new updates to
install, but no matter what I try it fails every time.
Here is a portion of my windowsupdate.log file.

Anyone have any ideas how I can make this work again? Thanks...
