XP Critical Up=date Installed Failed?
Posted by Terre on July 23rd, 2003


I have downloaded twice, and tried 3 times, unsuccessfully, to install the
following:

821557 (Security Update WindowXP) 5.1MB

The install bar shows 3 tiles complete when the caution flag (!) pops up and
says:

"! Windlows - Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file
E:\f84716ef73301ac31c\sp1\shell32.dll. The data has been lost. This error
may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection.
Please try to save this file elsewhere."

I have installed Critical up-dates successfully in the past, so this is a
first for me. My questions are:

1. How do I get this to install,

2. Why is it referring to my E drive and not my C drive,

3. How the heck do I get this download to install ELSEWHERE,

4. Where on my computer did the download go?

5. Now I have the dang reminder popping up telling me to install.

I'm now afraid to re-start my computer to see what happens, if anything.

HELP?!?! Thanks ~ Terre

Hello,

Is your E drive a local drive?
