Jim,

When I try to open the cumulative update for SP1 referenced in the link below, I get a message saying "This update requires Internet Explorer Service Pack 1 to be installed." What am I doing wrong?

     The listing you post does not show that you've installed the Cumulative
     Update and that may be the fix for the problem. The link to download the
     update is in this article below:
