computer is Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop running XP pro with SP3 installed.
Have contacted Dell who remotely controlled the computer stating all was OK
& maybe a reinstall of XP was reqd.
Have run chkdsk with no problems shown.
Automatic updates are turned on, i get a failure no matter how i navigate to
update site.
Am also running McAfee as virus checker.
Please someone help me find a solution this is driving me mad.
The computer also seems to be very slow and has numerous hangs.
I cannot find a reason for this as plenty of disc space, no need to defrag,
& plenty of processing power available.
