Re: Group Policy on XP Home



microsoft just frowned on my laptop and could not do windows updates....
said check & make Services Automatic for ;
Auto Updates
BITS
Event Logging

had put the AutoUpdates service to manual ,,, which apparently stopped BiTs,
whom was the actual culprit .


Windows Firewall/ICS Looks like it has no dependents here under services &
turns on/off instantly. Maybe you could temp disable the service for
Security Center then turn off firewall.
