Forgot to mention this in previous post, and i couldn't cancel it intime
to add this;
I ran a LINUX Live cd (CentOS), and had no problem connecting to the net.
So i'm doubting it's a net card issue
Ohh and thanks for all your help

Sorry was having abit of a newsreader glitch..wasn't showing the rest
of
the post. I think i've fixed that issue.
I followed the other persons advice. changed program folders back to c:
\program files, and that seemed to work. but know i can't connect to
the
internet, using cable modem or dial up. I can see the LAN with no
problem. Firewall is not running and ran the connection setup wizard
again to try and see if that helped. Still can't connect.
i also tried and set the program files folder back to the setting i was
using before i set it back to c:\program files.

Please quote all of the previous message when you reply, Suicyco.
Thank you.

Have you tried installing it manually while logged in as Administrator
/and/ with your anti-virus application and any anti-spyware
"protections" disabled?

Do you see any errors associated with the attempted installs of 918899
in your windowsupdate.log?

How to read the Windowsupdate.log file:

Compare errors to those listed here:

Sorry, used a different ID on that post

I've been trying to update an XP system. All the other updates
downloaded and installed, except the cumalative security update
KB918899 fails each time i try to update it. I was using the WU
sight to update. I then downloaded the update file and tried running
it. Seemed to be installing, then at the end it says setup canceled.
I am the Admin on the systen and was in the admin account. Anyone
else have this problem or maybe have some
insight to whats going on? TIA

Try installing it manually in Safe Mode.

thanks for the advice..i just tried that, using the built in Admin
account
and the Admin Account i created. Both times the same reults
happened; setup
canceled after seeming to install it

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of
previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. I have no
idea what this thread is about or what you've tried previously.

Thank you.
