I have an xp sp2 box with "Notify me but don't automatically download

dialup (possibly on a noisy line so its very slow).. its a clean
install and it has an svchost error that is causing it to reboot when
msn messenger is running I have read that an update should fix it,
anyways, the updates are available balloon never shows up, even when
its been connected for 20-30 minutes so I am wondering is there a way
to manually initiate the process, I dont want to do it over the web
because it doesnt let you choose what not to install.

does it still run on port 80/443 when running from the desktop as
opposed to from the website?

Flamer.

thanks I will give that a try.
