No. The only thing I have running really... Is a spam program which checks
differnat email accounts every once and awhile, Gmail Notifier for my gmail
account and my firewall and antivirus. I've tested with firewall off and it
didn't help.

I shut down the spam app and Gmail notifier. Tried the download. It has told
me that a download is in progress.

I have noticed a high amount of processor usage for the following:

ehsched.exe (most activity)
ehrec.exe (most activity)
svchost.exe (network service)
lsass.exe

and a little activity with ehtray.exe (but there is nothing in my systray?)

Is it downloading now, not sure will have to wait and see. Although I don't
see any activity on my dsl modem? and there is nothing in my system tray to
show that it is being downloaded. Will post back and let you know if this
works. Will keep my fingers crossed.
