You can,but I wouldn't.I would download and install Windows XP Service pack 2,and then go to Windows Update and take all available updates,and then set it to take automatic updates,and keep your Windows XP up to date.You can download Windows XP Service Pack 2 at the site below.

Did you set it up to automatically do the update and install it? You need to go to Control Panel, systems, then your security center to tell it to manually ask you if you want the update.\n\nI have a fix for the genuine problem, just contact me if you want to know how to get rid of it.

You have probably enabled the microsoft auto update feature.\n\nPersonally I don't like it running automatically I like to be told they are available vs the system just doing it anytime it  feels like it.  I do update alot but like to do it proactively vs automatically.\n\nFrom the link I sent below you'll see a "pick a time to install updates link... That sends you to the Automatic Updates panel... click more options... select Notify me but don't automatially download and install them \n\nNote: Windows will automatically turn off your computer after the updates are installed (if the update requires it)
