| Hi, for a while now I have been having a problem when installing windows updates. I appear to download them fine, but they never seem to get installed. I think that they are successfully installed, and then every time I shut down the computer, i am given the option to turn off without installing updates (which i always do now) which shows that the updates have not infact been installed. What is causing this and what is the solution? Thanks, Luke |

| Had this problem so many times on mine and customers PCs. There is a lot of info online but I have never found a solution. A windows repair did fix it however.

| Hey, thanks for you help. Sorry for being stupid, but how exactly do I get a windows repair? Or does this mean completely reinstalling windows? |

| It's a part install, it repairs the core files without messing with your data and customization. You will need a Windows CD.

| 1) Run a full set of spyware and virus scans. <-- I have seen many instances of malware being the culprit of this. 2) Do system maintenance including chkdsk. 3) This is a rather exhaustive list of "possible" fixes from MS http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;822798 But the ones I would be most likely to look at is:
