    I got XP installed, trying to download updates for it using windows updater. When I try to download the critical updates it will get to about 3-6mb then will say everything failed and stop downloading. Anyone know whats wrong or any solutions?

    Got it from my dad and it's xp. The one I had before was from a friend I never had any problems with updating.

    I had a problem with updating Windows when my system restore wasn't acting correctly. You could try turning it off, or back on.
