EULA help XP home user

I seem to have lost the ability to accept EULA in up dates from MS. There is no problem with "critical updates" they down load & install automatically.
However when I go to get the "reccomended update" the ELUA page displays for a fraction of a second then disapears, all of the selected updates then have a message in red above them saying
"You must accept the EULA before you can download.
I have tried disabling anything that might possibly block it.
Now I am at a loss, its rather like that jokey GIF where the mouse pointer can never catch,s up with the yes button.
Any help would be appreciated, in simple words please

 

smike - interesting. I've never heard of anything like that before. Unless you get a response from someone on here who had, I'd suggest email to Microsoft Tech Support. It will be free support and they certainly ought to be able to get you fixed.
