The CPU goes up to 99 percent every time I try to run update! The update
process then freezes. I turned off the auto update and tried the manual
update. still no go - still freezes up (just goes on and on and on after
clicking on "Express".

I also tried the Microsoft recommended fix (both methods). Still no go.

What else can I do?
