Hi there again,
Go to Microsoft Tech Net, you will find it through
links on XPsite or through MSN.com. Lookfor the file named The Package
installer(formerly called Update exe.) This file is LARGE! but you can easily
navigate through it and print of the eaxact pages that you want to solve
nearly all problems relating to Updating from Microsoft. I printed off the
whole thing and used a whole cartridge of black ink!
Best of luck and a Merry Christmas!
