Hi Nicholas
I followed the instructions under "Install stops at 0%
when using the AOL Browser" except that I stopped short
of installing the updates. Then I went to the patch site
using that window and tried downloading and installing
the ms.blast patch. That didn't work, either.
Thing is, I don't go through AOL, I'm on Time Warner
Roadrunner and AOL rides along. So I'm stumped. Any other
thoughts? The update icon suggested I needed to install
XP service Pack 1. Would that help?
sorry,
ed
