Doug,

I downloaded the file and when I tried to extract the files, it seemed to
extract a bunch of files and then I got an error message "EXTRACTION FAILED"
and a message saying "Access Denied." By the way, the Update was not in my
Add/Remove items.

We must be zeroing in on the problem so keep trying with me.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

Remove the update again, and download the patch manually from:
