MS XP - Update problem
 

...I've recently had a crash and had to do to a REPAIR (no fresh re-install)
of my XP Pro (and SP2) and now it looks for (auto) updates and tells me
that there are 79 for installing.

BUT - when installing it won't install them as they're are already
(somewhere) on the PC ... when I switch off the PC it tells me that these
updates are ready for installing but I can't because they're already
there....

How do I delete the already installed and do a clean install of required
updates....

Hope I make myself clear...
