until recently was always able to do an MS update without problems. Now when ever i try the "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB92130) although downloaded fails to install.

And because it fails the install process i can no longer update the xp home operating software with the critical or recommende updates.

Question : has anybody encountered the same problem recently ansd if so what did you guys do to over come it

thanks
