hi,
i have winXP with SP2. recently windows downloaded some things from its automatic update. every thing got installed, but one component ie.. "Realtek AC'97 Audio" is giving installation failed. after some time again the icon will showup indicating that one update is yet to be installed(its that same component). even after retrying many times it is happening the same way.

help please..........

thank you.
