this should not happen but did.
wiped hard drive, reformatted low level. installed XP Pro sp3 from dell media on dell system.
all went well.
drivers installed. looks good.
cranked up windows update. fails [goes searching, never ends... hours].
looked up microsoft's remedies, tried several, not working.
Tried microsoft "FIXIT". fails with errors
Ran sfc /scannow. finished ok. rebooted, ran MS Update - same fail. Ran FIXIT, same fail with same errors [attached].
I don't know what on earth is up with this. everything else working splendidly. even after repeated fails of update, no significant errors in the windows event logs.
anyone have a clue?
