Windows update problems...

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?

 

is it a legit copy of windows xp?........and is it xp or xp sp-1?

 

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.

 

maybe try setting it for update automatically...does it in the backgrond and tells ya when it is ready to install......also are u on dial up or broadband?........dial up sucks for any updates

 

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

 

It's working now.
