Help I'm baffled!
Decided to upgrade my Hard Drive which necessitated installing Win XP (from original manufacturers disk) but have been stymied by Windows Update.

I am not confident in playing with the background parts of Windows.
It would appear that myriads of other users are experiencing similar problems.
When will Microsoft issue an update fix?
Is there anything more I can do (I’ve completed the Microsoft suggested actions without effect).
