Yeah I know what you mean. If ALL drivers and ALL software was
available in another OS I would have switched long ago.

You did not waste your time as I print these types messages out
and
store them for a reference later.
Just wish I could get rid of MS altogether.
Just to follow up and close out this problem, this is what I
did that
so far has solved the problem.
* Went to "services.msc" to varify Windows update service
settings
* re-registered Windows update DLLs
* removed corrupted Windows update files
* rebooted Windows XP Pro
I figure most of you know better than I how to do all those
things but
if details are needed let me know.
