Have you got your auto file scan enabled in your anti virus? If so, disable
it and you should be able to install the updates. Alias "Rob" wrote title says it all. after writing HD to zeros to fix damaged or corrupted files, can not get updates to install.

Have you been running with the Quack?
Are you running Norton System Quack - - errr - Doctor? If so, then read on...... You may have up to 32,000 empty OEM*.INF files sitting in your c:\Windows\INF folder, which prevents any program putting a legitimate *.INF file in there (it also slow your system down to stop, trying to read them and sort the [non-existent] contents!). You need to DELETE all 0byte (and ONLY the 0byte) OEM*.INF files. look here for information on how to do that , and how to prevent it happening again (i.e. TURN OFF NORTON SYSTEM DOCTOR - unless you are actively troubleshooting something) The Symantec site: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...15010309&src=n also "Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup, Installing Updates, or Adding New Hardware" (http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q281967) also http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q301540 (which contains the fix for your problem in the NOTE under the patch description) Phone your Local MS office, and tell them your problem quoting Q301540 - they'll either send you the patch, or give you a one-use password, for the cost of the call.

If you have the Norton Flu as Noel suggests when you
delete the files hold down shift when you click delete otherwise you will also have to delete them from the recycle bin later. I did them about 8000 at a time. Get ready to sit back and enjoy a movie while this is going on.
