The microsoft site just doesn't offer it, and when I run "Windows Update" it is not listed as needed or available updates.
I've tried numerous times and can't get to any site that will let me download it. I have been offered Service Pack 2 downloads everywhere, and even started and had about 70 meg. downloaded already when I remembered you did not recommend it at this time, so I aborted the download.
You can update to SP2 if you want after you do the below System Restore.
Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points
Turn off System Restore:
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Restart your computer, turn it back on.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster,Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.
Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.
Thanks Ld,
You guys @ TomCoyote are lifesavers, I don't know how people with kids and computers get by without you!!!!
I'll be making a small donation to your cause.
