Go to window update page and get some set up, try to
download and no go, goes through the routine of
downloading and then it shows that the updates failed to
install. Disabled Zone alarm 4.0 fix-it utilities, Lowered
my zone settings to medium-> default levels for IE. tried
the ping thing to update page->shows it works fine. tried
to add the addy to HOST file? This has got me stumped
bigtime, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, hoping for some help.
