    I am having an issue trying to update windows. I have Home XP sp2 and for some reason I cant update.

    I tried and delete all files/subfolders under "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\"
    but after it update all the files I get an error when it's trying to install. I disabled AVG. Here is a screenshot. Any suggestions? Thanks
