"I have followed all the Soultions listed on the net To update my Dell Computer with no joy" Meaning you are unable to succeed at acquiring, downloading and installing the updates by Microsoft? If so then, have you tried going to Start, All Programs and way at the top click on Windows Update to do it manually? Once at the site you will need to validate your copy of WinXP buy inputting your ProductKey number found on the Dell tag on the side or the back of your PC. HTH Bryan
