I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled xp home sp2. Upon
updated to sp3 I can no longer use microsoft update to update my system. I
have to search for each failed update and install it manually. Anyone else
having, or better HAD this problem and know a fix? Please HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP.
Linux is looking better and better

"can no longer use"
So, did you get an error code on the failure?
