Guest MeMe Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I'm using Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 2. When I check to see if I need any updates, it says everything is updated - High Priority, Software and Hardware. However, when I click on Review your update history, it shows there are updates that failed in previous updates. If my Update says my system is up-to-date, then does that mean that later updates fixed the problem when earlier updates were not installed? Or do I have to go back and re-install all of the failed updates?

You say that some updates 'failed' - did they later install properly? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Guest MeMe Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I just went back and checked and they did all install later. I guess that would have answered my question in the first place but I didn't realize to check for each number. Thanks for your help.
