Instead of selecting only the
critical updates, have you tried using the custom option (instead of express) and
seeing what else is available to install? And have you updated to
Microsoft Update instead of just Windows Update?

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.
