Ok, I have been working with and cussing this computer for
two days now. I did go on the Microsoft site and found
the fix for the blaster. It then told me I needed at
least the service pack 2 to perform the fix. I
found the service packs and downloaded 2. Then, when I
tried to run the fix, it said, "This update requires
ms03.26 to be installed" So I went back and did a 2 hour
download of service pack three thinking that the
ms03.26 would be in it. Then I tired to run the fix and
it still says "This update requires ms03.26 to be
installed" so I did a search on the site for ms03.26 and
it said it was outdated and to do a search on the
site for critical updates. It came up with 34 or so that
I needed to do that would take several days to download!
So, I found one large one among them that said "Cumulative
update for service pack 3 2.1mg) so I did that one but I
still get the message "This update requires ms03.26
to be installed" At this point, I am going the turn the
machine off until tomorrow. I am praying for the second
coming tonight so I do not have to face it in the
morning! What would you suggest as it seems that
I need this ms03.26 but the site does not want me to use
it.
Thanks for all your help.

Any ideas on this?
..

These may help.

Dave,

Thanks for the information. The 1st URL suggest that the
patch be dl, however, the patch will not install unless
the ms03.26 is present. I suppose the ms03.26 is in one
of the files that were not downloaded. Would you happen
to know which of the updates contains the file ms03.26?
That file would be downloaded and I would believe that the
patch would work then.

Thanks for all your help.

Hope that takes you where you need to go.

Don't stop praying, it never hurts
