When I go to the Update page for IE using XP SP2 it says "the updates
are being downloaded and installed" and then nothing happens. I have
left it for 30+ mins are there is about 70MB to be downloaded. Any
ideas how to make it work?

Thanks.

Hope that helps...(Thanks, Jim - I sent that to myself at work <g>)

1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, click Connections, click LAN
Settings. Uncheck "Automatically Detect Settings" and "Use Automatic configuration script"

2. Also in the Internet Options, under "Temporary Internet Files", click the "Delete Files"
button, check the box, "Delete all offline content", "OK". After it finishes, click the
"Settings" button and lower the amount of disk space to use to 10 Meg. Click "OK", "Apply".
That will increase your hard drive space by how much was in that folder. I've seen it well over
a gig. Folders that big are prone to crosslinked files. Clear it weekly, or sooner, especially
if IE starts acting funny. You can automate the process by clicking the "Advanced" tab, scroll
down to "Security", and check the box, "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is
closed", click "Apply", "OK"
