Some that have installed SP3 have this problem but I assume
you're talking about SP2. What are the *exact* messages you're
receiving, have you tried searching for those? Are you
shutting down EVERYTHING that's running in the background?
At that URL's search box, type in: update and look at all
the auto-complete options they've added. Also try: cannot
install and: can't install. Your BITS service may not be
running. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934648/en-us

This is my wifes computer, a Dell 5150 with XP pro on it.
I've had this problem and posted it back in Feb 2008 when Hugh
gave me a
site to visit with some input from M$.

I was unable to get the problem solved. The very first item I
tried came
back and said could not do it as the file was in use.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the updates to
install?
I have 102 that won't install. They download ok but when I tell
them to
install the go thru the motions and then at the end say that
the
following have not installed, which is all of them. I tried one
at a
time which is a pain when you have 101 to unclick.
The only other option I know of it to reinstall the original
software
which is SP1a and I am not sure it would fix it.
appreciate the help.
