RE: Why Won't My Computor Download Microsoft Critical Updates (85)

Engel:

You're a lifesaver. I did a system restore, followed by a repair/partial
re-install of Windows XP and couldn't download Microsoft Updates. Dial-a-fix
solved the problem. I happily made a donation to the programmer of that
software. Thanks to you for your help.
