Cheers, I'll give it a read now.

What happens here is this: Automatic updates are turned on, XP tells me that I should download an urgent update (SP1). As far as I can tell, it downloads but does not install.

It's annoying as every time I turn off the computer my PC tries to install SP1 and fails.

 

Has anyone got any ideas?

 

lol exactly what happens to me mate with service pack two. well annoying ive done it bout ten times

 

What do I do to fix this chaps? There must be a Puter Guru on here.....

 

Is the service pack you're having trouble with for Windows XP? If so, you can download this file and then use it to create a CD with the latest SP3 on it.

Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 3 - ISO-9660 CD Image File

This will bypass all the previous service packs and bring you right up to date.

 

Yeah is an XP service pack. I'll try the link now, cheers Bud.

 

I downloaded the file from the link, copied it to CD and installed it, that worked fine. However, I still get this message when I double click the yellow updates shield on the toolbar...

The following update could not be installed - Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB928366)

 

Thanks. I'll check them out.
