Can't update Windows

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

In fact, viewing my update history I find that these updates have failed
everyday since I upgraded to Service Pack 2 -- a period of over 25 days!

Short answer is I'm not sure, as MS has recently changed its download page
and no longer can I find how to see what my download history has been.

But I think it has been all downloads since I upgraded to Service Pack 2 a
few weeks ago.

That being said, I just now tried to load a download, the only one I found
for XP and it seemed to download OK.

How do I find my download history now?

Ignore previous reply. I found the page that shows my update history.

The answer to your question is ALL updates since I upgraded to Service Pack
2 on May 27. As I have automatic updates turned on, it shows a total of 530
updates, although they are the same updates that it tried to upload once a
day, I guess.

A sampling of the 500+ failed updates shows the same error code: 0x80246008
..

Does that tell you anything?

If you click on this link http://www.connectionwizard.org/ and go to my malware removal section, there is detailed instructions that will help you. just click on the instructions link. the software is totally free and very easy instructions on using it. Everyone needs to get all the microsoft updates before the worm hits. Microsoft updates has a patch so you won't get it. I hear it's a bad one too. Tell your friends about this site when you are done. The site is currently under construction but I do have all the links for the software up and starting the instructions, now so be patient. Instructions for the first one are already in there.
