i tried to install from windows update but it failed. pack 2 has a firewall.
I already have a firewall & virus scan from a service. is this a problem if
the firewall is installed again? Do you have to be signed on as an
"Administrator" to install it? How do you sign on as an "Administrator"?
Thanks
