Could your system date be wrong? I think certifications only operate within a time window. The last time I ran into that problem, my kids had set my system date (who knows why) to 1999.

I just reinstalled XP cause I somewhat screwed up while editing my user security policies(dont ya hate it when your listed as admin but when you try to install a program it says you have to be an admin, lol)

well, I just ran Windows Update, and found something along the lines of 22-26 critical updates.

so I selected all of the ones that did not require to be installed seperately, and selected Install.

well, only about 6 of them successfully installed.

the following did not install because Windows Update said they Did not meet or pass Windows Logo certification/testing.

Critical Update for ADODB.stream (KB870669)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB840315)
Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773)

I would REALLY like to have my PC as secure as possible..
