Any pc bods about?

This xp pc at home hasn't had microsoft update done on it, pretty much since it was first turned on.

I can't pick and chose updates from the update site cos it won't load up the updates to chose, even the express option brings up an error

What should I do from here? Is this pc knackered from not having this sort of update on here

If download service pack 1a to override service pack 1, will it change anything on this pc? ie will programmes and files disappear?
