[QUOTE="Rob, post: 32962, member: 176677"] Last Sunday afternoon I wasted at least six hours trying to get an update from Microsoft for my poor old pc. I have Windows 98 (2nd Ed) and after Microsoft had scanned my pc, it said that I needed 22 urgent updates, plus 41 others. So far so good. On the first update for Internet Explorer after two hours nothing, on my second attempt for the other 21 urgent updates which should have lasted 47 minutes, the time remaining stuck with just 3 minutes to go. I waited for an hour, but it just would not go an further. It is just me or has anyone else had the same problem ? Mind you after reading Rolf's message (27-10-03) it is best to forget all about updates all together ! I did manage to download a firewall, which was the only bloody thing I did get after six hours, would this be enough protection on it's own ? Would welcome an thought's on this, before I try again next weekend. :confused: [/QUOTE]
