My Windows XP want update

Because the online installation of updates CAN take a long, long time.

The onscreen display does have a habit of looking like nothing is happening, then suddenly the next 3 or 4 updates whiz by, then it'll slow a bit again.

You might be better to setup Windows Update to download only, then once you've 'got 'em all' you can install offline.

go to Command Prompt and type
regsvr32 wups.dll
