Many thanks, auto updates and firewall all OK again.Just had a look at my XP machine it looks to be working alright.
For newbie Registery Hackers like me a bit more info.
Open windows Explorer( The file Browser) Click Tools,Folder Options.Click the View Tab.
Untick Hide extensions for known file types.Next right click on Desktop. Select, New,Text Document.Enter the name of the file as xp.reg.The icon image will change to a blue cube.Mine did so I did something right.
Now right click on the xp.reg folder,select edit.Enter the following.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
Save the file and shut down Notepad.
Double click xp.reg,and click yes to include in registery.click OK when you get conformation.
Now check that you are getting the updates.
People should be aware that microsoft may try to close this loophole.So should make sure that XP is actually updating.
EDIT - typo in the code corrected A/S
I use xp as part of a dual boot with vista, now vista works well I like to keep xp working on a separate hard drive as it contains my vista backup.
