Re: Can't install 2 updates

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

I went to this page:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 , as you
suggested, but I couldn't follow it. Maybe it's because I'm 80 or just
stupid.
eg: Would I have to got to the MS update site, find these files & install
them?
Would it be because I haven't go SP 3 installed?
All I want to know in laymen's term, is how I can resolve my issue.
Although I searched for an answer for my problem and looked at; How to ask a
question: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375, I could find no solution

Another issue,
When I received the notification email re "Can't install 2 updates" , I
clicked on Read and rate the response and was taken to this page:

4321-4aed-b25b-149657d757f4
Although 'Done' appeared in the lower taskbar the page was blank
Is there something wrong witht the link?
I went to the General discussion siteand logged in to find the reply
