I was just there today, I had already applied Sp1. I don't know if you would call it an update but it listed Windoze media player 9 for download. There were a few last week too before I applied Sp1. I think you may have a problem. Norton auto updates will eventually stop if you don't pay to update your license. You should still be able to get the def file from there site and update manually.

I don't see how it could stop updates, but you could look at the settings in the Automatic updates in control panel. Grasping at straws now. Having to reformat sucks, but sometimes it's the only way.

Does Microsoft require that you be logged in to the MSN network to receive updates? Just a quess.

disable the xp firewall
and in your (internet options)goto connections tab
then at the bottom of that window go into lan settings tab
make sure there are no checks in there
