Hi Carol:

Ewwww.... It's 57.5 MB, it *will* take a while to arrive by dialup.

Yes, I would go to a friends, or to an Internet Café that offers a "High
Speed" connection and try again there. You will need a USB Flash Drive big
enough to store the file.

You should be able to get one at a local computer shop for maybe 20 bucks if
you don't have one already :-)

I would be very surprised if the computer people at work would not help you
out by burning the thing to CD if you were to look sufficiently helpless.
Or bribe them: you can't bribe geeks with money, but FOOD works every time
-- anything chocolate :-)

Cheers

Did what you suggested, and found the update 11.2.5 but my modem shuts down,
and internet disconnects before the 4 hrs and 55 minutes it takes to download
the update! I have tried different settings but despite 8 tries and lots of
hours...no luck! HELP! Should I try to get somewhere where I am not on dial
up modem to get the update installed. We do not have cable here, and the
phone company also won't provide high speed internet. I work for the State of
Maine, but know that they will not allow me to use their network due to
security concerns and over-spamming....
