Hey Windowsians. I've been having a problem where the Windows Automatic Updates program has been failing to install literally everything I want it to. I did a repair installation of Windows XP recently, and I read online that doing a repair install uninstalls your Service Pack, so I had to go get SP2 again. When trying to the first 6 times, it just said "Genuine Advantage Program Failed." I went and validated my copy of Windows XP, tried again, and in a matter of 10 seconds, I recieved a notice that the following programs failed to install: Security Update for Windows XP (KB873339)Critical Update for Windows XP (KB886185)Security Update for Windows XP (KB885836)Security Update for Windows XP (KB888302)Security Update for Windows XP (KB891781)Security Update for Windows XP (KB885835)Security Update for Windows XP (KB896428)Security Update for Windows XP (KB901214)Security Update for Windows XP (KB890859)Security Update for Windows XP (KB896358)Security Update for Windows XP (KB893756)Security Update for Windows XP (KB899591)Security Update for Windows XP (KB899587)Security Update for Windows XP (KB896423)Update for Windows XP (KB894391)Security Update for Windows XP (KB902400)Security Update for Windows XP (KB901017)Security Update for Windows XP (KB905414)Security Update for Windows XP (KB905749)Security Update for Windows XP (KB900725)Update for Windows XP (KB910437)Security Update for Windows XP (KB908519)Security Update for Windows XP (KB911927)Security Update for Windows XP (KB901190)Security Update for Windows Media Player Plug-in (KB911564)Security Update for Windows XP (KB911562)Update for Windows XP (KB900485)Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)Security Update for Windows XP (KB914389)Security Update for Windows XP (KB918439)Security Update for Windows XP (KB913580)Security Update for Windows XP (KB911280)Security Update for Windows XP (KB914388)Security Update for Windows XP (KB920670)Security Update for Windows XP (KB920683)Update for Windows XP (KB922582)Update for Windows XP (KB916595)Security Update for Windows XP (KB919007)Security Update for Windows XP (KB920685)Update for Windows XP (KB920872)Security Update for Windows XP (KB923414)Security Update for Windows XP (KB923191)Security Update for Windows XP (KB922819)Security Update for Windows XP (KB924270)Security Update for Windows XP (KB923980)Security Update for Windows XP (KB926255)Security Update for Windows XP (KB928255)Security Update for Windows XP (KB928843)Security Update for Windows XP (KB927802)Security Update for Windows XP (KB924667)Security Update for Windows XP (KB927779)Security Update for Windows XP (KB918118)Security Update for Windows XP (KB926436)Security Update for Windows XP (KB925902)Security Update for Windows XP (KB931784)Security Update for Windows XP (KB930178)Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)Security Update for Windows XP (KB932168)Security Update for Windows XP (KB890046)Security Update for Windows XP (KB920213)Update for Windows XP (KB930916)Update for Windows XP (KB927891)Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express for Windows XP (KB929123)Security Update for Windows XP (KB935840)Security Update for Windows XP (KB935839)Security Update for Windows Media Player 6.4 (KB925398)Update for Windows XP (KB938828)Security Update for Windows Media Player 9 (KB936782)Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB938127)Security Update for Windows XP (KB936021)Security Update for Windows XP (KB923689)Security Update for Windows XP (KB933729)Security Update for Outlook Express for Windows XP (KB941202)Security Update for Windows XP (KB943460)Update for Windows XP (KB942763)Security Update for Windows XP (KB941568)Security Update for Windows XP (KB944653)Security Update for Windows XP with Windows Media Format Runtime 9.5 and 11 (KB941569)Security Update for Windows XP (KB941644)Security Update for Windows XP (KB943485)Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806)Security Update for Windows XP (KB946026)Security Update for Windows XP (KB943055)Security Update for Windows XP (KB941693)Security Update for Windows XP (KB945553)Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB947864)Security Update for Windows XP (KB948590)Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP (KB948881)Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April 2008 (KB890830) This happened more than once, mind you. I tried installing SP2 four times, and those are the same things I got. Hopefully there's a solution to this. I'm not very comfortable knowing that critical security updates are failing to install. Thanks, Patch.
