I have a dell xp home. I can download the updates but it
always says can't successfully update. I just did a repair
of the OS and thought that would surely fix the problem.
It didn't. It still won't process the downloads into
successful updates.

Any ideas??
Thanks,
Lyn

Do you use AOL? Then you may go here

Are you on an administrator account while updating? That is a must
requirement.
If you get other error messages that the updates fail windows logo testing
etc. you may go here

Just go to this site I built, http://connectionwizard.comoj.com/ there are the programs you need (FREE) and full instructions telling you how to install and uninstall them. When you are done you will be able to get you updates again, your machine will be like you first bought it as well. Take Care

That's really useful answer to someone who posted in 2005. What is it with all this SPAM?

That person has brought back about 7 of those kinds of posts recently.
