This is a WindowsUpdate NG so does this info help you to make up your
mind? your 79 years is a long time for someone still hanging around
with us in our 20s!!!

It looks like the download has been corrupted. I suggest you should
download the big fat file from Microsoft Website and then install it
from your desktop. The link is here:

Oh SAQless.. ;-)

You know the group name is now a misnomer much like
"windowsxp.HelpandSupport" has become. It should just be ".update" now,
IMHO.

This newsgroup covers both Windows Update and Microsoft Update, since they use
the same underlying technology. Therefore, questions about Office service packs
are on topic (assuming they are being applied via Microsoft Update).

In any case, it would be dangerous to assume that any particular question is in
fact on topic, since they often aren't.

Hey antipodean,

You managed to wake up then? Name of the Newsgroup is of utmost importance
when it comes to replying to messages. Any sensible pig should be able to
read the name to begin with. It should be the starting point.

Another nutter posting something useless to muster support for fellow pig!!
Do you guys hop into bed together as well? Is it fair to say that you guys
are AC/DC?

SAQless,

When you learn where I am from, you can respond. Until then - it's better
you silently pretend to be wise.
