Why Window Updates failed to be installed ?
Hi,
I have problem in installing a large number of Winsow update recently. I am using genuine copy of Window XP (Home) OS. I only install 2 Open Office Software on it. Can this problem caused by MS Program that mistaken my PC as using the Pirated Software and prevent the installation? How can I relay my feedback to MS Specialist for further checking on their global surveriance software on Pirated OS ? Thanks Low -- A36B58K641 |

Why Window Updates failed to be installed ?
Hi PA Bear,
I have finally found the solution to this problem. It was actually due to disabling of all the Add On in my Internet Explores. I did it earlier because of frequent crashes. Today I enable all of them and I have successfully installed all the window updates and other newly downloaded software. Thank you anyway for your help. Kindly share this tip with other users if they faced similar unresolved problem. Thanks and have a nice day.
