As with Boots, I am also having problems since I tried to
install SP2. I clicked yes to download SP2, but I never
got the install window. Now when I try to update from
Microsoft, it just says This page cannot be displayed and
the check for updates message is disabled. How can I
check if the download for SP2 was wver installed and how
do I get out of this mess?

Because of that, I've
