Hi,

I am running Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) and it has developed the annoying
habit of telling me that I need to download and install the same updates
everytime I run the update programme. This is despite the fact that I have
downloaded and ran the updates 4 or 5 times now!

Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi,

Thanks for the help, it turns out to be connected with an error 0x80004005.
I have downloaded some intructions on how to resolve this and although it
looks a bit complicated, I will give it a go.
