Greetings, I have inherited a Win2K laptop that I'm trying to update/patch. I can access Windows and MS Update no problem, and the updates download, but then they fail to install. I consistently get a message saying that there is a problem on my computer that is preventing the updates from being installed. I suspect that the previous user was mucking around with both services and group policy and was wondering there were any settings there that I should be taking notice of. Any advice? TIA John
