I am running MS Vista Ultimate.  About 2 weeks ago ALL updates of any kind,
from any vendor, including MS have failed to install.  When I try to manually
install any of them, they also fail.  Error messages yield no helpful
information, fixes or work arounds.  HELP!

Check your anti-virus software.  I've sometimes seem A/V or firewalls
blocking updates.

I am running windows XP. I am having a problem with xml core service 4.0
service pack 2, It keeps saying that it updated successfully but keeps
offering me the same update. I have ran Malware & Antivirus in safe mode &
came up clean. In fact I am in safe mode right now. What do I do. This is
getting very frustrating.
Please help.
