    Nothing installs on my machine
    I'm running Windows XP Pro 64bit OS with SP2. Every time I start up, I get new notifications for Windows updates (the same one every time), Java updates, and Adobe updates. I always install them, and never get an error message, but the programs do not install and when I restart, I get the same notifications again. I have tried installing a couple different Anti-Virus programs, but have the same problem. (I was running AVG Free, but it hasn't updated in a while, and updates don't stick when I run them) Advice?
