need again advice........and dont nag

Sorry to weird you out Stu
I got a techie friend of mine to help me with it and he reckons that if you have XP even tho the Service Pack 2 stuffs up sometimes that you still need it for whatever fixes the boffins at MS have cooked up this time.

He eventually got the service pack onto my computer but don't ask me how cos I was a blithering heap of tear stained jeans lying crumpled in the corner. Maybe someone here might know more of the in's and out's than I do and be able to give you better advice.

Just with all the probs you are already having I didn't want you to go thru what I just went thru purely for the lost work time with all the BS that went with it. Still then again, it might not happen with your computer. It's a bit like computer Russian Roulette


Hope it all works out for you ok. I'm bloody wary of downloading any patches or critical update thingies any more
