Re: Downloading updates in advance
Well that didn't work,
i downloaded all 90 files (582Mb)
i formatted my drive and reinstalled windows
when i tried to perform the updates one by one
there were some that would not install because the installation program was
missing
like : com_microsoft.886903_NET11_SP1_XP_5556
result: i had to go online to search for updates
i needed an installer program first,
then 28 downloads were needed
Now it's up to date but again i'm leaking Mb's :((
In my taskmanager i see there are 5 "svchost.exe" that are active
is this normal ?
svchost.exe - local service
svchost.exe - networkservice
svchost.exe - SYSTEM
svchost.exe - networkservice
svchost.exe - SYSTEM
msmsgs.exe keeps activating itself
My cpu keeps "performing" without me doing anything (variable 0-10%)
and NIS gives popups
"Rules automaticly created for MS generetic Host Process for WIN32 server"
--> c:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
So i'm back to where i was
Looks like performing updates offline is not that easy as i thought
Any help's appreciated
