Default How come my windows update isn't working?
Every time it alerts me that I need to download something, I run it and it says windows could not download: and it lists the downloads I couldn't download such as security updates for word, excel, and also sp3.

I know where to download sp3 so its not a big deal but why isn't windows update allowing me to download?

Also I do have a legitimate copy of windows xp

Have you ran your virus checker and your spyware checkers? If you have a firewall installed you may wish to disable it and try the downloads again.

Does it say: "The following updates were not installed" ?

Mine does the same thing. You can probably get the security updates by turning on automatic updates.
