Re: Cannot get Updates for XP

Phil:I have been in the same situation since 2007 Jan 3-4. According to my
Updater's History it has tried to automatically dowload over 1000 times
unsucessfully. Up until the mentioned date it worked flawlessly. Tried every
possible scenario suggested by Microsoft but the problem is still present. I
do not think even MS understands or can correct this problem. I would be most
greatful if someone could solve this annoying problem.

Also try the below as it was posted in another thread by someone.

1. Click on Start, and then click Run.
2. Type cmd in the Open box to get a DOS prompt.
3. Type "net stop wuauserv" without the quotes at the command prompt, and
press
Enter.
4. Delete (or put in recycle bin) the contents of
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution (but not the SoftwareDistribution folder)
5. Type net start wuauserv at the command prompt, and press Enter.
6. Now try Windows Update again.
