Windows Update Weirdness...
So very odd...
Brand spanking new system, with a fresh install of XP. I go to Windows update, and it tells me that there are no updates available for my system??? Surely they jest. When I last reformatted (last week) there were like, 40 critical updates, and a bunch of XP reccommended ones. Anyone else seen this? MPEDrummer

You might have problems if you are using XP Corp. and the common CD Key. If this is the case, then M$ is telling you to go out an buy a legit copy in order to update.
Did you reformat when you did this latest installation? Has rebooting worked?

No, no, it's a legit copy of XP Pro, and I even activated.
I've found that this was a common problem for people upgrading from Win98, but that's not the case here...I took a blank drive and put XP Pro on it's virgin ass. I don't have the currentVersion registry key that would cause problems like this. It's a bit worrysome, actually...cause critical updates are...well, critical, at times. Not sure what to do here. Any thoughts? I'm sick of reinstalling things, but if it'd help...

I was messing around with new WinXP box and I noticed that when the time was set to synch with Microsoft's time server, the time would be off by 10 minutes! I was adding it to our domain at the time and when I was done it did the synch with the network time server and all was well.
