I have a Toshiba Notebook that I ran the recovery disk to reset the factory
setting which included XP Home. I can go to Windows Update and download and
install all the updates.

However I need IIS so I updated to XP Pro. But I keep on getting
installation failures for every patch I download from the Windows Update
site. I have now gone back to scratch 5 times to try to resolve this issue,
but each time I get the same result. I am doing a straight XP Pro upgrade,
not custom, and I turned off Nortons to no avail.

Why does XP Home updates go smoothly while XP Pro fails every time? Can
anyone help me?
