I would highly recommend updating your system with the latest service pack
(available from the above link). If you have Auto-Update enabled, it might
be a weekish before you are trickled down with the 270mb download.

I have installed on 5 systems so far, and it has been running just fine!

270 mb download??? How are us mere mortals with dial up connections supposed to
live long enuff for that? What is this huge service pack about? Sounds like
the entire operating system and then some.

What backward country do you live in? EVERYBODY today has either ADSL, ADSL
Wireless, DSL, satellite or cable.
Surely there is not anybody left on dial-up anymore in the western world.

Sorry, but you are wrong. I am located in rural Kentucky, and the one and only
option available to me is satellite, and others in this area have mixed results
with it.

In any even, a large segment of users are still using dialup, regardless of what
you see thru those rose colored glasses.

I got it downloaded and it's running smoothly on my 4½ year old computer.
It's a P3-550 with 384 MB RAM. No problems. Took about an hour'ish to
download and install but part of that can be attributed to the processor
speed.

JoAnn that computer of yours should be in tip - years ago.
How could anybody use such an old piece of gear.
We don't even have less than 1.0Ghz computers in our free access points.

Get your head out of the clouds, not everyone has or can get anything but
dial-up.

How lovely for you. Not everyone can afford buying new computers every year.
Since my computer isn't used for anything critical, I have the older one.
Keith has the newer one because he often does work on it.

Hell where do you live it is so backward. If you cannot get cable or DSL
you should be able to get 144kbps on CDMA X1 mobile telephone.
