OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1

I tried re-installing it and things went "fine" this time, at least so far. I'll give it a try and see how things go from here. If they bottom out, i'll be switching back to Win2K. Sean

Just another fine example of a monopoly at work. Thanks for the heads up.

I hate to break the mood but I installed this without incident. Everything works as it should.
Maybe my 2 Gig and 512 RAM made the difference.

But yes, it was a long download. I wish I had known ahead of time!

Jeff, my download took a matter of seconds due to a phenomenally fast connection. It was the rest of the installation that took the time on my end. As i mentioned, i had no problems after deleting and trying to do a re-install later in the day. I have to wonder if there wasn't a "glitch in the Matrix" as my computer tried to dial up to the internet via my phone line during the original install. My guess is that the there was a hiccup with my primary connection and may have distorted the data transfer.

For the record, others have reported having no problems with the download. Others have said that they have noticed a slow down on their puters after installation. I'm still somewhat up in the air on the speed part right now, but will give it some time before passing judgment. Sean

PS... Yes, you have a "killer" computer : )

All I can say is: DSL... 180k/sec downloads :-)

Gotta love it!
