Well, since it deals with windows and resulted from installing sp2, I figured
this was the best place to post and since it is here, I will continue to seek
help here. I connect with comcast and when I try to go to the update site, it
locks up my IE. Like I said in my original post, I can go everywhere else on
the microsoft site and the web, just not there. Why would sp2 do this and is
there a work around.
