When I try to download and install Windows updates through the Help and
Support Page, I get an Unable to Install message. But when I search and
download the respective update files from the Microsoft Update site, they
install OK. I use Windows XP Home with SP2, and it started to happen after
I have installed XP2 (maybe not immediately after but I can't recall
exactly). Any suggestions will be appreciated.
