Install SP1 first, not SP1a, hack the OOBE timer, then do your updates. All will be fine then.

Windows update says I have already have SP1 installed. As regards OOBE timer, I have no idea what this is, and certainly wouldn't know how to hack it.
Explain please.
M8t. I am not getting any error number at all to give me a clue. I am only getting :- "Windows Update failed to install the downloaded updates" Try again!" which I have several times.
yeah balamm say a few more words wont kill ya
Kennyboy, you could try finding the install files it downloads and running them manually -- that might give you some more verbose error messages. Look for a 'WUtemp' folder for the install files it downloads.
Also, what version of Windows do you have? Home, Pro, Corp?
Kazaa Corruption Fixer --> Fix any corrupted CD image, archive, or video file you've downloaded with Kazaa.
The oobe timer balam refers to relates to windows xp activation. It stands for Out Of Box Experience.
I've had the same problem a couple of times. Check that the update you are downloading is not listed in add/remove programs. If it is then uninstall it. Also, delete your wutemp folder before revisiting windows update. The updates should work fine now.
If your running a pirated copy of XP that could be one reason why your not able to download the updates completely..i can give u basic instructions for changing your cd key to a non-blacklisted one..PM me for a working key as well

If SP1 installed then it'll be fine.
