Sorry, I should have made it clear, I did a clean install. It's the download and running of the files that is the problem.

AFAIK, you have to do a clean install, NOT an upgrade to Vista from Windows
2000.
There is no upgrade path for it.

I am in the process of an upgrade from windows 2000 to Vista and I have had
to download some updates from Microsoft. When I try to run some of these
downloads I get the message "Extracting file failed. It is most likely
caused by low memory(low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet
file."
My PC has some 2GB of ram and when I check Virtual Memory in Control Panel
it shows some 2 GB. The 2 downloaded files are approx 12MB and 23 MB. I
have downloaded them multiple times and tried to run them with no other jobs
running.
I am at my wits end to know what to do now. Any suggestions please?
