Denny,
I have absolutely no problems with Windows Update, SP2 downloads perfectly
everytime and installs okay. Unfortunately, I have dial-up (cable/dsl is not
available yet here...one more month DSL will be available). As I mentionrf
before, SP2 works okay for a while (generally 3-4 weeks) unlike this time it
only lasted 6-days. Then all of a sudden after no program changes or
software upgrades or additions I can only start up in Safe Mode until I
remove SP2.
