Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP installation or you repair a Windows XP installation.

There are few common causes for problems with the Windows Update service.

  1. First double check the date and time on your computer. If they are too far off, Windows Update will not work.

  2. Another common problem is that there is a problem with the Windows update program files. Please refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article by clicking on the link below for information about fixing this problem.

  3. The computer used to be part of a domain and was not properly removed from the network before it was taken out of service for use without the domain. This will sometimes cause an "Access is denied" error when trying to do updates or you can not start the automatic update service.
