Hi,

I'm hoping someone could shed some light on some issues I've been
having.

I've just done a format and installed WinXPPro with SP2 and the
computer. The automatic updates picks up a batch to download (approx
65), but whenever update KB956572 or KB959426 is installed, subsequence
updates fail and the computer becomes unresponsive. I am unable to open
IE or even notepad; any application will not launch and I'm forced to
shutdown.

After the restart, I can see the history by going to windows update via
IE, and the failed updates all have the "Error Code: 0xD0000005".

Does anybody have any ideas why this would happen, and what I could do
to remedy this situaiton? I suppose I could just omit those two updates
and let the rest download, but I don't understand why the computer
reacts the way it does after downloading those two updates.

I'm using WindowsXPPro SP2 using Automatic Updates.

On searching the web, I found:
Problem: Error 0xd0000005 is caused by missing system files or broken system
registry structures. This is a critical sign of an unstable system that is
typically caused by improper maintenance of the computer.

Symptoms: Error 0xd0000005 symptoms can include program lock-ups, slow PC
performance, system freezes, shut down and startup problems, and
installation errors.

For more info: Search for "Are you having trouble with Error 0xd00000005".
There is a repair tool available, but since I have never needed it, I cannot
vouch for its success.

Search the internet for Error Code: 0xD0000005". The site
Error-Repair-Help.com/0xd0000005 has a fix.

Why were you 62 updates behind? Why didn't you install SP3 first?
