Brian:
I think I have completed downloading updates through Windows Updates. I hesitate to say this but I think this thread is solved. When I ask Update for more updates, I get a blank stare so I presume problem solved.
A note to all as to what I think was the cause of my Windows Update issues. I had reinstalled the Vista OS. IE didn't work properly after the reinstall. Because I had no intentions of using IE I thought I would uncheck boxes of settings inside IE, thinking this would save me resources which could be used other places in the computer. I think this could be the reason for the problems I had with downloads and installs of updates, Fixits, etc. Things seemed to go much better after I reset IE settings to defaults.
You mentioned in one of your posts, Brian, that after installing all the updates that you would address any other issues. I have high CPU usage issues but Ithink that would be addressed in another thread, Right? or would you want to tackle this as well as?
Thanks for your help, Brian.
