Hello. I am also trying to update my computer. Our computer had been very sluggish for a very long time, so my mom decided to do a system recovery on it. All of the programs are on the computer still but aren't accessible because from what I gather we have to reinstall the updates on the computer. When I try to install the udpates While "performing inventory check" I get the following message everytime: the file c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe is open or in use by another application. I have no idea what could be the issue because I have nothing else on at the time. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Lewminous
.
Rather than tag onto this post, which is really about updating critical updates to XP...I suggest that you just start a new post about your situation.
In that post, it will help a great deal if you tell us:
a. Manufacturer and model of the system.
b. Procedures used to do the recovery.
c. Current SP level on the system.
I believe that your issue is one with WinUpdate and from what I see...it's probably going to take some digging to figure out what is happening and why.
