Hi, I am totally new to this forum (happy to have found it), so please bear with me. I am having problems with updating my OS (Windows XP - Home Edition). Whenever I try to update, the update scan freezes at 0% and I get the following message: "Windows is looking for available updates...0%". I tried to follow the trouble-shooting advice from Microsoft, but it never worked. I used to be able to update my OS without any trouble. All my other updates (Symantec, NVidia etc) work just fine.

I would very much appreciate any suggestions that might solve my problem. Right now I depend on 'packaged' updates that Microsoft offers so very few and far between. Thank you.
