Is there a problem with windows update page? For over a week now when I try
to access windows update site, it starts to load and then freezes up. I
tried doing this on my other computer and I end up with the same results. I
am able to surf the web and go where ever I want so I know that's not the
problem. I am running windows xp sp2 pro, on a pentium 4 cpu 2.40ghz with
1gb ram. Thanks you.

No.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

It's networked to the Linksys WRT54G. The linksys is connected to the
starband modem. All the computers (2) are connected to the router. I have to
use static ip for it to run with the modem. Also I have DHCP Server enabled.
Thanks
