  Hi cbelle,

  Thank you for using answers Forum.

  I suggest using the CheckSUR for investigating issues of update.

  What is system update readiness tool? System resources, such as file of data, even in the data memory and registry data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifecycle of the operating system. These contradictions may be caused by various hardware failures or can be caused by software problems. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows Service store, and they can cause software updates not do not work. The system update tool attempts to resolve these inconsistencies.

  The following files are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

  Hi CJC62,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

  What version of the operating system is installed on your computer?

  Assuming that it's Windows XP, here is some information on the Internet Explorer that comes with Service Pack 3 (SP3). SP3 for XP will continue to ship with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and it contains a roll-up updates of security for IE6. If you still use Internet Explorer 6, then XP SP3 will be offered to you via Windows Update as a high priority update. You can safely install XP SP3 and have an updated release of IE6 with all your personal preferences, such as homepages and Favorites, still intact.

  For more details on Internet Explorer that comes with the SP3 of XP see

  IE and Windows XP Service Pack 3

  See for more information on Windows XP SP3 and how do I get

  So far, my experience with IE7 has been good. From now on, I suggest you go ahead and install it. From the link below, you will discover the features of IE7.

• Installation of Windows Service Pack 2 - spinstall.exe "Win 32 invalid app".

  When trying to download Windows Service Pack 2, I get "spinstall.exe is not a valid Win32 application" which makes impossible installation. It was on the second and third effort.

  The first time I tried to download and install the Windows SP2, I got "Extraction failed. amd64\update\update.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

  How can I download Windows SP2 successfully. The computer is running Windows SP1?

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

• Just got yet another call for "Windows Service Station"

  Just got yet another call for "Windows service station', saying: I was hacked and my computer sends windows warning messages and if I didn't follow his instructions all my data would be deleted... An Indian-sounding guy named Sam... I played along and got a phone number, saying: I would like to remind him he said 0808 1890111 which is a UK addiction hotline...

  I played along 'Sam' gave me an extremely long code to type in something on the windows event viewer... I know it's a scam and we have these calls often 3 times a week for a few years now. I play at the same time or am quite rude and tell them to be ashamed of themselves, depending on my mood... I really wish that they would go, but I can't this blocks 'any number' because it is off the coast.
  Any suggestions on how to remove our number and the name of their list (I asked the scammers do, but they don't notice).

  Certainly a SCAM, you have made the right choice. Never to give them information and never leave access to your PC.

  It is difficult, if not impossible to remove your number from a list of scam once its on it. And it's hard to know how they got it in the first place. It could be a list simple phone book. Recording with things like Telephone Preference Service (United Kingdom) and asking to be made "Red" (BT - UK) can make it harder for them to get a number in the first place, but once they have it probably wont help. It can stop any other do however.

  There are devices like Call Blocker, which can be programmed for their calls not ring your line, but it depends on what number they release when they call. If their number is "held" and then some providers have a service to stop calls "deductions number' to ring your line. ACR service (BT - Uk).

  PS - the links above are a few examples of our services/devices to the United Kingdom for more information.
