Guest Chris Barnes Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I just completed a fresh install of WinXP Tablet from a cd w/ SP2 slipstreamed in. All went well. Did the first couple of sets of updates, including the SP3 update. Good. Then installed Office 2007 and did the update, which installed Microsoft Update (the newer, nicer version). Now the computer is telling me it needs to Turn Off to install 22 updates. I do it & it looks like the updates are installing (get the "don't turn off your computer" message). Computer seems to finish; turn it back on. Trying to do the next round of updates fails (one of the updates is for IE7) - the "turn off" button again having the little icon that it needs to finish doing the updates. It *looks* like it is the same 22 updates it was doing above. I also tried doing the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 Suggestions? -- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes chris-barnes@tamu.edu Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes

NLite is brainless easy for doing that and at least you'd know if installing SP3 after a fresh SP2 is what's tripping things up on the downloads side of things. - Thee Chicago Wolf
