| Just did as you suggested.
| 1. After menu box describing 'inspecting, box came up stating 'Access is
| Denied.'
| 2. Then WgaNotify Setup Error box came up stating:
| "WgaNotify installation did not complete.
| Windows XP has been partially updated and may not work properly."
|
| I copied these verbatim from the boxes. Thanks for the suggestion but still
| no go. Please advise if you can.
