Anyone else having problems with Windows Update on XP..??

I connect to the service and it just displays a message to say the windows update site has been upgraded and windows needs to install updated software for this to work. It goes off to to this but each time it tells me that the software update has failed.

Can anyone help..??

Thanks in adavance.

I got that last night after i reformatted and went to update. It told me the windows update site had been upgraded and I had to download the updates which I did twice because it failed on the 1st try. Everything's running smoothly now....maybe you need to try it again.:knocked:

Updates fail occassionally for me but problem is, once they fail.. they always do. Retrying always results in the same error. This seems to happen mostly with critical updates and driver upgrades. There are a couple of drivers, namely those for my network adapters and one for the via media driver ( or something ) that seem to lock up the machine when installing. Once this completely screwed the system. No matter what i did, i could not boot back into windows. Nothing, save a format would work. I'm beginning to think that, atleast for now... Windows Update is more trouble than it is worth. i am especially dubious now about installing any driver updates on offer. :ermm: :(
