Downloads and install of the MS updates, and you have the SP2 already.....let us know how it is going . Anything change? Are things better? Worse? How long did it take?


I have my computer set to download then let me know so I can install them.


We have talked about the updates before, I always get the critical ones but some of the ones that are "Recommended" I pass on. Why? Well there is one to update my fax console.....I don't have a fax and don't plan on getting one so why get the update?


Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer (Windows XP)

Download size: 7.0 MB, 4 minutes
This accessory allows people who do not have a computer running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition to view files that were created in Microsoft Windows Journal on a Tablet PC     I don't even know anyone with a tablet pc....lol


The games stops responding? Never had that problem either......


Update for the Media Center so I can play DVDs if I have a player that supports Direct Show.......I am not watching DVDs on my computer when my living room couch is more comfortable.....lol


The one for the Windows movie maker didn't have anything to do with me since I don't even have a camcorder or download movies....


Nor did I download the .NET framwork.


There are others, at one time there was a fix so I could watch SnowWhite or some such thing I think it had something to do with that worm or viruse that was going around a couple years ago....I suppose people couldn't play anything that had Snow White in it......


So you see I don't like to just install anything.......I am picky....there are a couple things in the SP2 that I have to wait and see if I even need too..


I have been following what they have been saying about the BETA version of this update.....But I would like to hear what you have to say about it too....


Please just jump right in and tell us.......Thanks Janet


 


Have a nice day !.

I just checked and I have 16 (SP2) HotFixes in my Add/Remove. But as yet I have not been told that SP2 has been downloaded. I am not having any problems so so far so good.


Here is one article I found and is probably the reason that it hasn't been downloaded to me yet. http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,117704,00.asp


Plus in that article there is other news under Related Articles.

I really don't know what is going on I just hope that by the time they do let it out that it is all fixed. lol.


From what I understand if there are other updates that those are downloaded.


They just can't get it quite right I guess......

Janet, I sent away and got a free disc of SP2. I put it on the computer and haven't had any problems, as yet. I learned about the disc on the Kim Komando site.

Now I don't know what I have. This morning I turned on the computer and had gotten my email and noticed that I had the little world with the butterfly on top (updates) and it downloaded for about an hour and it was at about 51% and it quit. Then it started again and now it wants me to install. Usually when I get updates there is an option to read the details about what I am installing, there isn't on
