Then encountered a problem a few days later and had to reinstall windows again (Repair install). No problem. When I go to updates or get the update messages, download of the updates is confirmed but the updates (all 81 of them) will not install. Get a message download size 0KB (Files already on hard drive?). Run install and after a couple of minutes get a message Some (All) the updates were not installed.
Any ideas?

Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=943144 and see if that helps at all. There was an update to Windows update that caused it.
Also, there was a thread on this site at the time http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,1508.0.html

It takes longer but I feel more confident in the outcome.
I also patch from a box running WSUS so the inevitable huge downloads are much quicker.

Had bad experiences with clean installs. Including wiping hard disk
Never know whar option to pick to avoid the disk wipe!

Quote from: Spider I experienced exactly the same problem and as indicated in the other threads the fix is straight forward. All you need to do is copy the following text into Notepad and then save it as .bat rather than .txt. The once you run the bat file XP should update correctly.

Wiping the drive is the objective....to clean all rubbish and replace it with a fresh copy of your O/S.
You do, of course back up all required documents, pictures, music etc.

Raw installation with motherboard drivers and AV
Then after SP2
Then after all Windoze major update (all 84 at last count)
Defrag the disc with Disc keeper and do another.
Install a second disc to image to and then copy off to a DVD to save space.
This process ensures that if iot hiccups along the way, you can always go back one step.

I took the advice and it worked while I was still on the PC
But when I came to boot up again later...problem!!!
The boot up goes as far as the Blue screen wallpaper but then comes a box asking for username and password....but I did not give it a password when I re-installed the XP...therefore I cannot get in to the startup screen!!
Has anybody had a similar experience and if so knows a solution????
