XP Critical Updates Failing

[Ron Biggs]

I'm trying to update my computer running Win XP SP1 with critical updates
Q817287, 814033, and 331953 --- and nothing is working. One I've followed
all the advice I could find (including finding and renaming catroot2, which
I couldn't do because I don't even have that file, just a folder with that
name), and nothing is working. I continue to get No Updates Were Installed.

Advice?

Rename the 'catroot2' FOLDER, reboot, download and install.

Afterwards, installing the Q817287: Critical Update (Catalog Database
Corruption in Microsoft Windows XP) fix will stop this above issue from
happening again
