I don't mean to be too pedantic, but in your case has your XP been setup to download and install the updates automatically?

I would try running a registry cleaner, sounds like a tangle up.

Tried to download a registry cleaner but they arent free. (I do free)
Do you know of a free one.
When I had W98 I had a MS program called reg clean but I cant find it now and not sure if it works with xp
Thanks
