I recently had to replace a hard disk. The repair people installed an
old version of Windows XP. I updated to SP3.

But when I later tried to run Windows update, all I get is "error". I
tried referring to FAQ but could find no reason why.

I turned off virus protection, and have the latest update software.

Any ideas on why I cannot update the new SP3 are very welcome.
