Question for Kent W. England

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Dear Kent,

Thank you for your recommendation, but I do not
know 'SAVScan.exe' or 'System Idle Process' are.
Consequently, I don't know where to look for them or how
to lengthen the update process. I would be very grateful
if you could tell me how to do this.

Thank you,
Michael
