A note on the update.....
Running the autoupdate on two desktops.

Desktop 1 .Windows XP home SP2 & Norton 360.... Update completed with no
user action necesssary.

Desktop 2. Windows XP Pro SP2 & Norton 360.... Update completed with no user
action necessary.

Laptop 1. Windows MCE & Norton 360..... the update had to be installed
after a modification of the registry keys.

Is this possibly an MCE problem?

Nope, having Symantec (especially but not exclusively Symantec) software
running in the background is like playing Russian Roulette to some extend.
