Internet? Updated it to what sp5 or win2k? What did you
log on as? You need to pass more info to get some help.

Just to let you know that I flag ALL CAPS so that these
messages go to my JUNK folder.

DON'T USE ALL CAPS. It's called "SHOUTING".

You'll get less static if you leave your CAPS off.
 
Did you install the service pack with anti-virus software running. If so,
disable the real-time monitoring and then install the service pack again. Is
there a compatiblity issue that prevents you from installing Service Pack
6a?
