1st off, I want to say I'm sorry, if I'm repeating some of the other
threads, but I'm at my wits end...Anyway, I have Windows XP Home Edition w/
Service Pack II, & downloaded IE7 (Beta) @ 2 mo. ago. Even before
installing IE7, the Automatic Updates doesn't seem to work right. As some
other Threads say, I get the yellow install shield (a lot,) but it usually
just "says" Downloading Updates 0%. I'm also having trouble w/ Outlook
Express responding, etc... plus my system likes to "freeze up" lately, &
the Error Reports recommend checking for updates. But, when I do this, it
says it's "checking," but nothing happens... If anyone has any
suggestions, please help.
