Joe--
I don't think the two are related. I don't have any WU problem, but that's
not statistical just my case. The problem with internet options and XP I
think, is in the category of a known glitch. As I said, it's persisted
through XP, XP SP1, all builds of SP2, and SP2 RTM. Maybe some of the IE
enthusiasts will have some insight. I will try to research both of them.
I try to keep close tabs on the XP SP2 KBs as they come out, and I will look
again, but the list of about 160 doesn't seem to mention either of these
issues.
I'll also try to research both of them some.

Thanks for the input Chad. I was thinking that this
freezing in IE could also be the reason that my Windows
Update now hangs when I try to use it. I had to order SP2
on CD to install it. After installing SP2, Windows Update
worked again but the first critical update I tried to
install, WU hung up again.
I think the problem with Windows Update started when V5
got installed. It looks prettier than V4 it just doesn't
work. Sorry for the sarcism but it's frustrating that a
feature like Windows Update has the capability to destroy
itself. It's my fault I guess, it wasn't broke but I fixed
it.
