    Hello,

    Well my day started off great, it is sunday morning and sunny the coffee is fresh and hot and then I boot up my lap top to check for critical updates and thats when my day goes a little bit south... ughhh.

    I am new to XP still and with that in mind I check for updates daily due to the fact that XP seems to be most affected by all the garbage out there on the internet. I have been a hard core 98SE fan for a long while but thought it might be time for a change :(.

    Anyways my delema is that I found 5 new critical updates 2 which downloaded and installed fine but 3 just downloaded and failed to install. Can any one look at the posted updates and possibly tell me why and what I need to do to get them installed.

    The updates in question are below:

    Failed Sunday, April 18, 2004 Security Update for Windows XP (KB835732) Web site
    Failed Sunday, April 18, 2004 Security Update for Windows XP (KB828741) Web site
    Failed Sunday, April 18, 2004 Security Update for Windows XP (KB837001) Web site

    Very Best Regards,
    FireDancer :rolleyes:

    Hi FireDancer...

    Just posted this in a different thread and figured I'd pass it on to you in case it could help...

    Windows Update Troubleshooter page

    I also found a site that mentioned that Windows Update was quite busy...http://www.computergripes.com/windows.update.html

    Little point, Firedancer - since October last MS release Critical updates on the second Tuesday of each month.

    Very occasionally a 'super critical' update may be released between times. Suggest you turn on Automatic Updates with notify option.

    Right Click My Computer Option > Properties > Automatic Updates.
