6-16-06, I tried installing Windows Update on my Windows XP SP2 and it
fails everytime. I tried using Update to install Critical Downloads and
it failed on all 10 downloads. At this point I have spent enough time
trying. I turned off my antivirus and security shields prior to
downloads. I quit for now. This is too time consuming.
