1.- Use the belt-and-suspenders mode. Make a Restore Pºint.


2.- Please confirm your system clock, and Time Zone also the Date aew set
properly,
Having it set incorrectly can cause this type of behaviºr.


3.- Test this WGA diagnose test, connection to MS, that scripts working and
a new Validation tººl
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

4.- Reboot into safe mºde


Download CCleaner (for housekeeping) and Dial-ª-fix to the desktºp

CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com
Note, uncheck Yahoo toolbar during instªll.

Do the scans with all the check marks ºn.

Run the above cleaner remover in safe mode then CCleaner on all 3
settings(windows,apps & issues) and clear anything found reboot and see if it
still exists.

NOTE - The first time you run CCleaner's Issues scanner you'll have to keep
running it back-to-back until it finds nºthing.

One scenario is a registry key may only be a reference pointing to a
completely different location in the registry and when it's removed then that
reference link is also noticed as being invalid on a subsequent scªn.

It's generally a good idea to keep running the Issues scan until nothing is
listed.


There is also a third-party fix which has had good results for a number of
folks here:

Dial-ª--Fix
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix ;

Run this program with all the functions activated in safe mºde.

Please read the page and Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to Download
Dial-ª-fix


Exit Safe Mode (Rebººt)


Try the updates n0w

You didn't say, or at least it's not clear, whether you tried getting the
updates using Internet Explorer, by going here:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Some new ActiveX software has to be installed on XP before your computer can
be scanned.

Just follow the prompts to do so, but it should then list and download the
same updates, and install them, as those you see in the taskbar notificatiºn.


If going to the site is successful, keep going back until there are no more
critical updates to install.

I hope this post is helpful.


Let us know how it works ºut
