I have had the same problem as cj. When the blaster worm
hit I tried to download security updates, (7) and it
stalls. I thought because of so many on the site. that
first weekend it was sitting there for at least 3 hours
and I canceled. I tried it a couple of other times
including today and it still just sits there and doesn't
finish. I hope someone has some answers so I can get them
on my computer. Thanks
 
I am having the same problems as cj and Susan! I found a
site to dl fixes for this problem at:

Windows XP Patch: Offered Driver May Not Install Using
Windows Update .. This update addresses the "Offered
driver may not install using Windows Update" issue in
Windows XP. Also here is another address for this:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814033
BUT to no avail!! Obviously the fixes are not working
either because I dl the critical dl's but they just will
NOT install! Meanwhile I am vulnerable and consistantly
fighting trojan horses. I finally dl'd AVG .. run Ad-
Aware and about to get The Cleaner as well! This is just
madness! Every help support I find to contact microsoft
techies by phone for immediate help has a charge! I bought
this system once and paid for their software included. I'm
not about to give them more money when its their issue and
their irresponsible program that is causing this problem.
Please believe me when I say im a very kind person ..
although I know I sound harsh! I have been at this for
some time and fear my system will finally be taken over by
these virus' and it was all because I could not find the
help I am owed for using Microsoft's program. So if anyone
reads this with some answers for me .. I would greatly
appreciate it! As far as this new XP that I bought in Dec.
of 2002 .. TAKE ME BACK TO 98 where things were simpler
and the windows 98 updates actually worked and were few
holes for these virus' to come thru because of it!!
