I've just "legalised" my XP on a computer I bought. Windows automatic
update
says that there are a number of updates needed (about 80) most of these
seem to be already on the machine (Belarc). Windows will download all the
updates but not install them. The cut-off point seems to be updates past
925486. Everytime I turn on windows wants to download all these updates
but
can't install them. Help?

Can you tell me what all was involved with this "legalization" please? I
have a friend who has a PC with a bootleg copy of XP on it who would like to
"make it right".

TIA.
