Hi all,
Ok here's the problem,
I was halfway through downloading XP's critical updates from the
windowsupdate website, when for some reason my pc rebooted. (a delayed
action from something i had installed just before i think).
Anyway, on returning to windowsupdate, my pc seemed to think that half these
updates had now installed as it only saw 7 critical updates instead of the
previous 18 or so. This is odd because at the point it rebooted, it was only
at the downloading stage not the installation stage.
I found an MS KB article that explained where to delete a registry key
relating to a Windows update to allow redection/reinstallation (see below)
so deleted the SP2 key and restarted but it had no effect. (Also deleted the
SP1 key as well but no effect either) ie still only 7 critical updates
listed.

I do not want to reinstall the whole system, i simply want windows update to
redetect the original 18 or so critical updates so i can reinstall them.
I've searched google, but can't find an answer to this one. Can anyone
help???
cheers
Mark
