I am running XP SP3, and when I go to the Windows update site and check for express updates, the green progress bard starts and just keeps going with no end result. I downloaded the Fixit Tool and it quoted the error code as above. How can I rectify this please?

Windows for home | Previous Windows versions | Windows update

    [1] Those updates are not there because that is what my problem is. I haven't been able to receive updates since I have had this problem...

    [2] You asked me to change the source of the files needed for copying to C\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386...

    A1. Yes, I know - and your injudcious use of registry cleaners most likely caused the problem!

    A2. I asked you no such thing.

    Happy to report that my laptop is currently downloading 42 updates...

    Open Add/Remove Programs & make sure the Show Updates box at the top is checked (and leave it checked); then select theName option in the Sort by box on the right. Now scroll down & tell me if ALL of the following updates are listed?

       (a) KB2888505, KB2876331, KB2900986 & KB2868626;

       (b) KB2847311 & KB2883150; KB2876217 & KB2864063;

       (c) KB2859537; KB2797052, KB2780091 & KB2802968;

       (d) KB2758857 & KB2727528; KB2393802 and especially Update for Windows XP (KB971029).

    Most will be displayed as Security Update for Windows XP followed by the KB number in parentheses.

    If IE8 is installed, one (1) will be displayed as Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 8 followed by the KB number in parentheses.
