im having a problem getting microsoft/windows to update.I 1st noticed this problem when I tried to upgrade my Internet Explorer to IE 7.And with the IE7 update it looked like everything was going to update fine & at the last step it said it couldnt finish updating & to go to my "TOOLS" menu & select "WINDOWS UPDATE".So I did all that & windows update stated the update was unsuccessful. & I cant figure out why.My laptops a XP by the way.

If you have an active antivirus protection running, this could be interfering with Windows update, especially when installing IE7. You should disable any antivirus protection until update has finished.
