Greetings.I am using original Windows Xp sp 2 . My AUTOMATIC UPDATE settings has been set to " Notify me but Don't automatically download or install them " ,When I got the first update as " Windows validation tool " I cancel the update then and checked the box " don't notify me about this update again " ( somewhat this of type message ) . The problem windows is not getting updated since then . The message is appearing "Updates are ready " , updates getting downloaded , during shutdown message is being shown " Installing update 1 of 86.... " , but then the computer shuts down without installing updates . I tried the manual way and installed the Validation Tool but the problem remains the same .Please help soon , if possible by return mail.

Go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com

let it scan your computer for the updates, install all of them.

If you want, choose Automatic Updates to run and download automatically.

PS: If your windows is genuine, why do you cancel the validation tool? eh? :D

I have already done that , but at windowsupdate after downloading the first update it shows error that " The following update cannot be installed - WIndows Validation Tool " and its ends there .
I have even installed the Validation tool after downloading it manually but the problem remains the same .
