Ok so i just found out that i dont have service pack two on my xp home edition so i clicke don my windows updater program and my computer opens an internet explorer window and it takes about 8 min to load a page that says you need to upgrade your updating software which i think means i need a newer version of windows undater. so it shows like the file downloading and then loading and the i get an error that says unable to load try again or something similiar this happens everytime so basically i have an unupdatable windows and my windows is completely legit no illegal stuff. so i was wondering if i could get like an actuall newer version of windows updater or a file to download and instal sp2

That error is related to the Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool.

There is a diagnostic tool you can download.

I suggest using Firefox and http://www.windizupdate.com and uninstalling WGA.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
