As you can imagine, XP's on the way out and you can try another install and hope the activation and update servers are up this time around.
But why must it be updated? It's not as if it has that long to live.

I reinstalled Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 3) on my laptop. I have used the XP disc on this laptop and other computers before. Whenver I attempt updates, I get a "error number: 0x8024D001" message. The XP software I used has always performed flawlessly in the past and was the program I was running on the laptop with no problems. I would like to sell the laptop so I wanted a fresh XP install. CAN ANYONE HELP???
