Default XP Pro wont update.

New laptop with XP Home, upgraded to Pro...now it will not accept updates. It downloads them, and when I go to install, maybe 2 out of 50 will install....I've tried installing them manually to no avail. Is there a fix for this? I've tried everything I can think of....

Krunk_Kracker, here's a possible fix you can try. Mind you, it seems a little risky, but it worked for the writer of the complaint in this link. It also seems like it's a very similar case as yours, and it happened quite recently.

Good luck! Hope this helps.
