ok, by reading past posts I found out which version of
XP I have... 32 bit. Now when I do a save as, where
should I say to put the patch. This would have been much
easier if MS would put up a little more explicit
instructions for us dummies out here!!! Thanks to anyone
who could help.
 
Hi Jason!

I agree; Microsoft thinks all of us are computer gurus and
is a bit sparse with information sometimes.

I am no expert, so don't take what I am about to say as
the definitive word. I just tried downloading the patch
and this is how it worked for me.

When given the choice of where to save it or to open it, I
chose to open it. After it downloaded it immediately
opened a Wizard that did the rest of the work. I presume
that the patch was correctly installed but I don't really
know; the Wizard just closed when it was done and didn't
give me a "Successfully Installed" message. Again, MS
could do better.

I then tried downloading it again but told it to save the
file to my desktop. Sure enough, when it was done there
was a new little icon on my desktop. I clicked it and got
the very same Wizard.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

If you have the time, email me and tell me how it went for
you.

Cheers!
Jan
