I have an Acer Aspire 3500, preloaded with Windows XP Home,
I go to the windows update page and click on Express, I get a page that says
that: "Files required to use Windows upadates are no longer registered or
installed on your computer"
I click on "Register or reinstall the files for me now,(Recommended)
it show downloading and installing and shows 100% done.
Then it returns to the update page with Express or Custom, I click Express,
and I'm sent back to the "Files required to use windows updates..." again
I try again I get the same thing, over and over again.
