I have recently had to re-install (update only not clean install) my
Windows XP SP2 PC. I have turned on Automatic updates and got offered
79 critical updates.

I followed the process and let XP install all of the updates. Quite a
few of the updates (about 20) were reported as not install. After
reboot and the completion of the update install for those that
reported as installing OK I again selected the remaining updates.

The process repeated with most but not all of the remaining ones being
installed. I again rebooted and repeated the procedure for the
remainder. However at the end of the last lot Windows Update proposes
all of the updates for installation again.

I went to the MS update site and had it scan and propose what needed
to be updated. This also suggested a very large list (I assume the
same 79 as originally). I let it install/attempt from there but that
has not helped.

I am now getting offered all 79 updates again.

Can anyone suggest how I can fix this. I know I could just tell Live
Update to ignore these but I am not sure if they have actually
installed correctly or not.

Cheers
TonyS.
