Updates could not be installed

11 updates covering windows xp, security and office could not be installed.
Tried using auto updater, and at the MS site. Same problem, reason -
something on your computer will not allow the updates to be installed!!! - no
resolution given

Hi PA Bear, thanks for your response. Sorry for the omission Windows XP. I
had my PC fixed lately (had a USB conflict problem) so not sure if it had SP3
added. To my knowledge I have sp2 - how can I tell if that has changed?
Please know that I am completely PC-illiterate, so I'll need really simple
direction!

PA Bear - I just checked under My Computer Properties and it appears I had
sp3 downloaded! Might that be the problem?

Don't you have Google in your part of the world?

See KB943144 or take your machine backed to the person who "fixed" it. It
looks like they reinstalled WinXP and then installed SP3.

Have just this morning solved this problem on my PC, after weeks of
searching. The tip came from a technician where I bought my PC (in
Germany) and a search of the of this file with Google found it only, it
would seem, on German websites, this should not present too much of a
problem though :

winupdrestore!v23.exe

I hope it helps you too, after all my desperate searching felt a need
to share the information.
