  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:

• Why a Windows Service Pack 3 update cause my browsers do not want to work more? I can't access the net. ?

  I am still running XP. My PC did an automatic update to load the SP3. When I did, and after rebooting, none of my browsers would work - I couldn't access the net. (I use IE 7 and Firefox). I called my ISP technology support and they concluded my browsers were corrupt and that I should get installed most recent IE. Instead, I did a system restore before the SP3 update, and everything works fine now.

  Issues related to the:

  1. why what happened?

  2. what should I do to avoid that it happens when I try to repeat the SP3 update?

• Unable to download the Service Pack in Windows XP

  I have Windows XP and download problems. It has been said that I have service pack 2 and service pack 3 required. can anyone help?

  Original title: Windows XP

  If you have XP service pack 2, you definitely need to service pack 3, but that may or may not address any problem you have.

  What are you are experiencing download problems and how this disorder manifests?  If you get an error message, please provide the full text without paraphrase.

  Windows Update no longer works until you have service pack 3 installed.

  To determine which service pack you have

  • Hold down the Windows key and press the Pause break button (or right click on desktop and select properties)
  • Examine what is listed in the system section on your service pack level
  • Note your type of processor in the computer section

  Assuming that you already have service pack 2, read this first-->

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950717

  If your PC is a HP Pavilion and Presario, Media Center and has a processor AMD (see above), you must install this hotfix before installing SP3-->

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=UK&LC=en&DLC=en&softwareitem=PV-60484-2
