Hi,

I am running XP SP1 (do not want to install SP2 yet) and am trying to
download the following updates:
Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374) [fails with errcode 80072EE2]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB824151) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB840987) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB834707)
[fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Q811114: Security Update (Windows XP or Windows XP Service Pack 1) [fails
with errcode 643]

I have tried to change the security settings as per postings in this forum,
but it doesn't help.

I previously tried to install SP2 but it failed, and our sysadmin does not
want anyone to upgrade to it yet. When I run windows update it goes to url
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Does that mean that some of SP2 got on
there anyway? If so, how can I remove it? It doesn't show under "Add/Remove
programs" and my build version says: "Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 (Service
Pack 1)".

Thankful for any help!
