The cows are coming home.

Do it.

What's the error message on Windows update?

I've got that page, saved it as a .mht, and will bump the fonts to a readable size when it comes time to do the upgrade. Not being a sys-admin geek, I can put this off till the cows come home. Eventually, something will force me into it, like perhaps, not being able to create network folders on my WinXps, or perhaps, not being able to login to my hosted web site. I don't really give Microsoft high marks when their damned security upgrades broke those essential features. But, one of these days I will uninstall SUS, install WUS, and get that working. I haven't upgraded anything since SUS was replaced because I had to turn off the XP firewalls in order to get it to work, but some security upgrade seems to have half-turned it on, but Windows upgrade fails.
