I just re-installed my XP home operating system, but cannot seem to install
updates from windowsupdate.microsoft.com. My web browser hangs and doesn't
give me any option to install updates. Can you help?

I recently helped someone who had blocked the Microsoft update manager in
Zone Alarm. It had come up automatically one day and he thought it was
spyware or something...

Windows Update Fails:
Click on START and the RUN put in each line seen below and clicked on
OK. (do each one line at a time)
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuapi.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuaueng.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\atl.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wucltui.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wups.dll
Disable your anti-virus when obtaining the updates.
Make sure that your firewall is allowing the connection to Windows Update .
This would be on ports 80 and 443.

Have you ran a virus and spyware check? Why did you have to reinstall?

Thanks for your help Frank. I isolated the problem to McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise 7.1. I was able to access Windows Update after un-installing this
program. Thanks for the clarifications below.
