Trobleshooting in get updates of Windows XP

There is something wrong with my installer of Windows (XP Pro service pack 2 comp 2,600) and I can´t get automatic updates, even do it in the Windows Update page. I have can´t install larger programs such as Corel or Photoshop for the same reason. I formatted my HD because the system showed problems to start several times in a row. What should I do now? Try to format and reinstall again?

  • Impossible to get updates of Windows to work and cannot install anything after upgrading to SP3

    After the upgrade to SP3 I met many problems. Any time I go to install it I get a Windows Installer error is not installed (even if this is the case) and I have to go to start/run and type Services.msc and the go to the installer of windows and right-click on it and select start and then install what I was tring to do.  Windows Update will not update and I tried to restart the installer and it does not work.  I tried the auto fixes but cannot get them to work because they will not install either or will not run.  I had to uninstall Windows Defender as I am unable to update the definitions it is basically useless.  All this started after I did a full cleaning of the computer and then downloaded the original Windows XP that I bought from Dell.

    Run CheckSUR.exe, which ends, but solves nothing

    Disabled the AV (Sophos) and do the updates - still fails
    Did a reboot selective via MSCONFIG - always fails when you try
    WU arrested and removed "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" - still does not work.
    Has attempted to re - apply SP2 - will not be re - apply!
