229445 2004-04-15 09:40:00 Presume that you all know that there is a new series of Security Updates. I have installed them all and after a few re-starts everything seems fine.

v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

229446 2004-04-15 12:15:00 I had a couple of goes at them and both times a couple of them had failed installs. I think I might give them a few more days and have another look. gerrypics (323)
229447 2004-04-15 12:31:00 I updated both Win2K and Win98SE and had an initial failure on each, then had to re-start each o/s twice after the compulsory re-start before the computer came back to normal.

Been using Win2k for 3 hours now and it seems fine. Checked Outlook Express on both o/s and works fine. IE6 seems ok too.

229448 2004-04-15 12:44:00 Both attempts told me updates had installed but when I had a look at update history it said update failed as had a few from the last round of updates, yet if I scan for updates now it only says I need one critical which I had decided not to download. gerrypics (323)
229449 2004-04-15 12:45:00 I should have mentioned OS=XP gerrypics (323)
229450 2004-04-16 22:20:00 Ditto... I had problems installing, so its good to know its not just me then. The problem definately arises with the install of the updates and in paticular the amount of time it seems to take to install (with me anyway), I will just keep trying i guess...
I also just had a look to see if they appear in add/remove (the ones i supposedly managed to install) after reading this thread, but they don't seem to be there?

229451 2004-04-16 23:02:00 Running XP home, 5 updates, 12 mins to download, about 20 mins to instal, all installed OK, suggest start the download then go have your lunch. FrankS (257)
229452 2004-04-16 23:17:00 To add to my comment, running Firewall Zone Alarm Pro and noted during the installation that 3 of the updates required permission from ZoneAlarm for Windows Installation to operate. Query, does this apply to other brews of Firewall. FrankS (257)
