Im having a serious problem with win xp pro. I download files from the windows update site, but after downloading the files will not install. The install progress bar always stays empty. I have literally watched it stay empty for an hour. I have automatic uodating disabled in control panel -> services, but i doubt that would prevent installation through manual downlaod. Yes, i have tried installing several different files and the same problem persists. Can anyone please help? My comp is getting less and less up to date every day (it is a relatively new pc, but i have succsesfully updated in the past. only in the last mont this problem has been happening). If anyone can give advice, i would greatly appreciate it.
