647669 2008-03-09 06:48:00 Hi there, have been having troubles with windows xp update. my settings are to have them download and then let me choose when to install them, but when i do the other options it doesnt work either. windows update keeps saying 'updates downloading' then in like 3 seconds 87 updates have been downloaded, then i choose to install them and in another 3 seconds it says,
The following updates have not been installed:
----
---
---

No matter how many times i try it wont install, would appreciate any help,
Cheers, AMDx3

Sometimes the auto updates dont work to good - why ?? not to sure, but I have had similar problems and doing it manually sometimes fixes it.

Also look in the event viewer.,

C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution

If something is failing. Look in the reportingevents text file
