hi everyone
i have got two PCs both have got windows xpsp2 installed.
i have been getting windows updates in one of them but not in the other for the last two months.
what cud be the reason.
what's the solution?

is ur copy legitimate?

check the live updates settings page and see that it is not disabled and the update timing is such that u r connected to the net at that time

Check ur Auto Update option activated or not with its time of updation, provided ur copy of OS should be a genuine one.

Please quote the error you get when you try to update, will let us know what the problem is...

genuine copy of windows has got no connection to getting updates

just check your update settings

well i has now ! i think .

Oh yes it does have, WGA... illegitimate = forget updates... for a while... anyways why do we need it ? Most of us dont have the hardware it fixes or use the IE's security features to the extent! Oh, just knew, we dont use IE at all!

many of my friends have bypassed this WGA check

they are having updates as usual
