ok. I think I finally got the incomplete download of SP@ off the system.
Altho, it appears to have been cached and wonder if I should clear the cache
as well. By now am leary of even trying to get the service pack as it has
caused me so much trouble.
I was hoping to open this line of discussion again as it seems to have
disapeared since yesterday. Does anyone know of a failsafe way to get this
upgrade without having to continuously tweak and adjust? I thought XP was
supposed to be so much better. I would go back to WIN98SE if it only had the
multimedia abilities i'm waiting to use.
There were a couple of posts that really helped and I do appreciate your
taking the time.

Thanks, Rich
somewhere in my travels looking for a solution it was mentioned that I
should not have any adware/spyware installed. The first place I looked, on
your suggestion was Bazooka. It requires installation:after which, and
running, should I then uninstall before attempting to go on?
