Microsoft Updates

[Voy06]

Okay guys I have several Microsoft Windows Updates that keep failing to install. I have tried installing them one at a time, all together but still they fail to install. Theres no error code that I can see only 'Failed Updates'.

I have Windows XP updated to Service Pack 3. Any ideas?

Thanks.

try deleting the contents of the downloaded folder in \WINDOWS\Software Distribution and re download the updates.

Hi, thanks. I have found the folder you mention but there are several different folders if you like within Software Distribution for example Download, Event Cache, Web Update, Self Update etc. Which one am I looking for?

Thanks again.

Delete the whole folder. You'll have to boot into safe mode though.
