OH yea, I understand that..
I mean that it is on their site, letting you know that it is out.. and if
you click on it, it downloads it from microsoft.. Yea I know better then to
download it from some other place, like just a normal website that when you
click on it, it downloads it from THEIR site... even if it was legal for them
to do that.. I would only trust microsoft...

BUT, about the windows update thing... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE tell me what page
it takes you to when you go to windows update? CAUSE, like I said... it ONLY
takes me to V4 and I can't go to V5... and that was the only thing that was
messing up after I installed SP2... So, if MOST people are being taken to V4
then I would say that it is normal for that to happen.... I just REALLY NEED
to find someone to answer this for me... HONESTLY, I have been asking this
since the 10th when i first installed SP2, and I can't get an answer... SO
PLEASE, go to windows update, and tell me what site it is taking YOU to.
I can type http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and then it takes me to
V4... EVERYTIME, NO MATTER WHAT, I can't go to V5 no more, and that is the
MAIN reason RIGHT NOW that I am reluctant to install SP2 untill I find out if
others is doin the same thing..

PLEASE, I'm not trying to be annoying, or to get on anyones nerves. I just
need to find this out. The microsoft TECH that I talked to from
1-888-SP2-HELP couldn't get mine to go to V5 either.... BUT, it already looks
like she didn't know what she was talking about in the first place. LOL
THANX SOOOOO MUCH, it will really make me feel better to know if I'm the
ONLY ONE, or if there are OTHERS that can't go to V5...

AND, if you just go to TOOL, windows update and it takes you to V4, WILL YOU
PLEASE try to type http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
and see if it takes you to V4 again, like it is doin me? Cause most that I
have talked to says that they can go to V4, and V5....
THANX SOOO MUCH
