    When I run window updates, everything goes fine, I select the update I need, but when I select install, it seems to download, then comes up with a list of failed installed update, the update I selected.
    This seems to start after I installed AVG 8.0, I have uninstalled it, but the problem still continue.

    Windows is like Linux in that software has dependencies. IOW, before one thing can install another may need to be updated first. So, what version of XP are you running, Home or Pro? What SP level is it updated to - should be at least at SP2 by now. 'Right click' on My Computer and then click on Properties from the menu - a window will pop up showing the version and SP level. HP/COmpaq have updates that should be done prior to installing SP2. Once SP2 is installed, then more updates may be found when you go to do an online update. And so on, and so forth... SP2 is downloadable and SP3 is also available for download both can probably be linked right from MG. I know SP3 can for sure as I just DLed it from here a few days ago.
