Newbie help needed!!!! Update is taking FOREVER....

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

Which particular update no. was it? If your'e sure it WAS a particular
update, it normally appears in 'Add or Remove Programs' in Control Panel.
If it isn't there, it's one of the undeletable ones. Also, make sure you
only download Critical Updates.
