RE: Update for Windows XP (KB898461) Cannot install

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Seems this same thing is happening to MANY folks from the posts here. Ever
sicne MS updated the update site. What you discribed happened to me exactly.
I finally went to the MS download site and found the updates by the KB number
that was listed there on the update site and updated my computer from there.
Since I updated my update site there have been 2 updates listed and neither
one would update from the Windows Update site. But I did get them installed
ok from the MS downloads site. Just did a search using the number, for
example : KB896344 and KB898461 were the ones I did that way. My computer is
running fine with nothing strange happening so maybe that is the way I will
install updates from now on.
