Re: Windows update time
Paul, I had a message saying a windows update needed doing when I got in from work so I started it about 8'ish
It's showing now 75%  is this a HUGE file or does my laptop/modem need a kick up the proverbial ??

Re: Windows update time
Needs a kick, the update is not that big and only took me a couple of mins to download and install.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
End the update and re-start windows update or use the link above to go for the file.

Re: Windows update time
Thank god for that! 2000 doesn't need to be patched *phew*
I've had enough of installing MS04-011 and MS04-012 to last me a lifetime!

Re: Windows update time
If u use WindowsUpdate to receive patches does it just check that the Windows u r running is a legal copy or does it check all MS software on ur PC?

Re: Windows update time
Just windows as far as I know, you can go into the updates catalogue and download them individually if you are worried though Office software is updated by an update scanner on a different area of the microsoft site
and just for you Juan
http://office.microsoft.com/OfficeUpdate/default.aspx is the update engine for ms office
