Guest guild.guild@hotmail.co.uk Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Since I reinstalled Windows XP pro on my machine I am having problems with Windows automatic updates. They download OK but installation fails. The same thing happens on the Windows updates site. However I can install them manually by selecting the details link for each one and going to the download page. I have been through the fixes for Error code 0X80070002 all to no avail. Any suggestions please??
