Re: XP Recovery Issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

For the Windows update problem, the windows automatic update service
may not be running. Go into admin tools/services and check to make
sure the automatic updates service is running. You need this service
running for Windows update to work even if you are not using auto
updates.
