| 506496 | 2006-12-14 01:33:00 | have u checked ur updates popup thingy in windows xp? There is this critical update for windows media player 6.4? It alerts you even if u don't have windows media 6.4 on ur pc and your using windows media player 10 or 11. has anyone installed this update yet? P.S If u go to the windowsupdate website(not from inside xp popup box) under 'software updates' optional,there is 2 daylight saving updates to get. do these apply to nz? also in software updates optional there is this update: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0: x86 (KB829019) What does the "x86" mean? |

| 506497 | 2006-12-14 01:39:00 | Yup I got the same update. Installed it anyway, just to get rid of the reminder thing. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 506498 | 2006-12-14 02:28:00 | Me too. x86 means 32 bit. re Daylight Savings, do it anyway, if it doesn't work on DS change the date and uninstall the update. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 506499 | 2006-12-14 02:42:00 | You dont need the .Net framework 1.1 or 2 install. Unless you download a program, or something, and it needs this so it'll install / run. Some .net programs wont install or run without 1.1 or 2. Click on the + beside the update/s, it'll tell u what its for. Or click on the link it gives u so u can check out what it is / and does. |

| 506500 | 2006-12-14 04:12:00 | hey does anyone know why it's asking me for a .net framework update if windows xp sp2 doesn't come with the .net framework? Or is this update the actual .net framework installation? Hey and by default(when u buy a new pc) does windows xp sp2 notify you of updates then ask you if u want to download? Or by default it is set to auto download and auto install? I used the icon in the taskbar and clicked on it to download and then the screened closed and i put my mouse over the icon in the taskbar and it said downloading or sumthing 0%,then i waited about 10 seconds and it didn't start? does it take time to start or what? no lights were blinking when it said 0% downloading but my internet was still working. I had to manually go to the windows update website and install them from there. anyone know what the problem is? |

Or is this update the actual . net framework installation? Its most probably the update/hotfix for the main 1 . 1 install file . BUT, as I said, you dont need 1 . 1 or 2, unless a program you've installed needs it . Hey and by default(when u buy a new pc) does windows xp sp2 notify you of updates then ask you if u want to download? Or by default it is set to auto download and auto install? Dont know, never brought a complete system . Its most probably on Automatic . By default . The icon for updates should appear, once you configure the system for the internet . Or once, u go to the Windowsupdate site . I usually put mine on notify me, but dont automatically download or install . I usually download the updates, since it saves me getting the updates twice for 2 computers . I used the icon in the taskbar and clicked on it to download and then the screened closed and i put my mouse over the icon in the taskbar and it said downloading or sumthing 0%,then i waited about 10 seconds and it didn't start? does it take time to start or what? no lights were blinking when it said 0% downloading but my internet was still working . I had to manually go to the windows update website and install them from there . anyone know what the problem is? Most probably your ISP's / Telecom's prob as usual . |

That’s normal, it depends on how busy the MS update servers are, & how busy the internet is & what your doing on the computer. I would give it at lest an 20 min’s to an hour before checking to see how its going. |
