Hi Robin
Many thanks for your advice. I don't have firewall but have closed my anti 
virus programme down but unfortunately the results are the same.
I shall keep trying.
Regards
Geoff

  Hi Geoff,

  Sorry pal, I really don't have much idea to help you on this, only to 
suggest, if your windows firewall is on, I'd try turning it off then try 
updating then.

  Or even your anti virus, as it seems something is blocking this process. Good 
luck

  Robin.

    Hi Robin
    Many thanks for your reply.
    The automatic update button is checked although I sometimes go to the site 
and click on Install, on the updates, but since I have installed SP2 from the 
disc, I get a message saying Update download unsuccessful.
    Regards
    Geoff

      Hi Geoff,

      How do you know they have failed to download? Can you elaborate a bit 
more?

      In control panel, under automatic updates, I take it you know about the 
four options? Download automatically, download, but let me choose when to 
install, download and install, and tell me, and finally, turn off automatic 
updates.

      Have you got this page set up right, and not perhaps the auto download 
turned off?

      Cheers, Robin

        Hi
        Could anyone help me with Windows Update.
        I am using  XP and have installed SP2 from the disk but since then 
updates have failed to download.
        Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution.
        Any help would be greatly appreciated.
        Regards
        Geoff
