I had problems recently with Windows Update after doing a repair install. You might be having a similar problem. http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2007/09/28/issues-installing-updates-aft er-repairing-xp.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916259/en-us -Vivek From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hoort, Brian Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 11:18 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Windows Update Not Updating Windows Gurus: I've got the strangest problem. I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro (MSU's Select) onto a Thinkpad/Lenovo T23 (P3 notebook from a few years back). It installs fine. Immediately after install, I visit Windows Update and do all criticals, and repeat the visit three times till it tells me there are no more criticals remaining. But there are. I've got IE6 still, no IE7, and I've got no support for WPA. When I try to connect via wireless, I can connect to MSU because it is just WEP, but on any AP with WPA2, I am unable to connect. A quick look at the wireless options shows this computer doesn't know about WPA. Nothing appears out of the ordinary: all hardware has recognized drivers; there are no relevant errors in the logs; I get no errors from the system or from Microsoft Update. I've formatted and reinstalled twice, each with different copies of our XP Select CD from MSU. About-Help confirms it has SP2 (which is already part of our installation CD). Any ideas? Coming up with search terms for this problem is proving difficult. There is one M$ KB article (907380) that describes the problem, but it is irrelevant as it blames an Office install and I've installed nothing but XP and updates.
