Tried turning your comp of via the "Turn of" to install updates?

[philthomas]

Are you using a legit version of Windows ?

[craiig]

i dont think so (oem) i built the pc

When you built the pc did you buy a fresh copy of windows xp?

Do you know if you have Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4 0 in the queue?

[craiig]

yes fresh! and dunno

Maybe if you just install a couple at atime instead of doing the all at once.This has happened to me before.Install the .Net framework updates then try again.
This is a vague solution I know but Im pretty sure once a particular update is installed all the others will then work.
