| 563352 | 2007-06-27 05:08:00 | How many updates did u install? All of them? Some? One? |

| 563353 | 2007-06-27 05:11:00 | Just one - the 1st one they have you install before you can even go to the list of possible updates. I believe it is called Windows Updater. | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 563354 | 2007-06-27 05:26:00 | Thats to check or validate your version of Windows. So u can use the Windowsupdate site. It maybe a update that'll fix it. You'll have to install SP1 / 2 and the rest of the updates. |

| 563355 | 2007-06-27 05:40:00 | No can do - becomes non-responsive in just a couple of minutes. Thus not able to update.... Has SP 2 installed. |

| 563356 | 2007-06-27 07:02:00 | What I do is: Drivers Firewall Anti-Malware Then let it out on the net. And update the drivers again with the newer ones off the manufacturers website. MS updates don't even come into it...... |
