    I also turned on automatic updates requirement also BUT no dice - I can't just not update Windows to activate and start as normal, no matter how many times I format the drive and do a fresh install.

    Now, I have to install Windows XP again but I noticed how old, easy to update somehow has been paralyzed.

    It's as IF Microsoft is crippling of Windows Update to start simple as pie, then now we users HAVE to jump through hoops to get our operating system Windows XP set to day and repeatedly queries Microsoft asks us or install 'FIX IT' service does not work and it is impossible to reach by phone about Microsoft , and the live online help runs into errors when it is installed, so I have to hit the Internet Forum here for advice.

    Is there a maintenance program master as an "all-in-One rollup patch" that will search the lack of programs, applications, and settings of Windows XP and makes a one-way relay to set everything right and ensure that the programs needed to make Windows Update work are knitted in Windows XP, including all programs missing subprogrammes and to settings then check their self errors or incorrect version but it provides goes off to FIND the RIGHT version of What is needed?

    Or better yet a disc Compilation of master i.e. Final Service Pack 4.0 that contains all fixes known on DVD that would be found in the downloaded Windows Update but rather is purchased for $10.00 that contains each hotfix and update known for Windows XP so that we can manually update Windows XP on the side of the user of the Internet without having to go on the internet?

    Unzip it, go to the folder and double-click RunMe - MakeInstallWindowsUpdateAgent.bat.

    It will download, MS, the files needed to create the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256/257 and then install it. The files that it contains are 100% Microsoft. He uses just a few third-party tools to make it.

    You can create a CD to date and does not deal with all the hassles during the fresh installation. You need nLite and my script of the UDC. You will only need SP3 when "slipstreaming". No SP1 or SP2.

    Hello

    Check your level of service current pack...

    • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
    • Examine what is listed in the system: section

    If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

    .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

    Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

    So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.
