Hi,
I recently re-installed my laptop with my manufactuers recovery CD. After I installed windows, it has the "windows update" icon in the system tray. I double clicked on it and as expected I found a list of all the XP updates available, as well as IE 8.0.
However I decided to install some other programs first. But after that the "windows update" icon dissappeared. When i go to the windows update website, I encountered a few problems.
1st - it says the files needed to windows update is missing or unregistered. So I followed the troubshoot and re-registered them.
Then, I scan my computer again, it took a long time. But it eventually came through. But there was only the "genuine office advantage" update available. No more security patches for XP or IE 8.0. Why is this? How do I get back all those security patches?
Many thanks
