Can you give us a little bit more specific info? What error messages are you getting? Are you running a firewall? If so, try disabling the firewall...I know SCS in particular has had issues with Windows Update.

I'd like to think I'm somewhat computer savvy, but this one escapes me...running XP, trying to run Windows Update. All but one or two updates will fail.
