Unhappy Win Update in Win XP Home fails to load
I hope someone can help me here.It is urgent!!

On February 20, a good friend reinstalled Win XP Home on my DELL Dimension 2350 computer.

Since that date, Win Update simply states it is searching for the latest sofware and then...nothing happens.

I am really concerned since my computer is unsafe to use since I dont have any updates and I have not been able to install SP2.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Please...!! It is urgent!!. Thank you.

Joe

Was it a legal copy of xp? In otherwords do you still have the original xp cd with the proper key?

Welcome to CTH


Try using this url in Internet Explorer and se if the updates work.
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co....aspx?ln=en-us

If your friend did not activate XP then you would also have the problem.
