Downloading XP Service Pack1

[Mary Ann]

When I tried to download XP Service Pack 1, it got down
to 12 minutes left (out of 2 hours) and the internet
connection broke contact. How could I have kept the
connection from breaking contact?

Did you try to restart the download? Sometimes it will start where it left
off.

Look at this tidbit, it happened to me too once.

Problem Description:
After accepting the EULA, the Windows Update - Web Page Dialog window
appears but the download never starts. Nothing "moves" on the download
progress bar, no matter how long you leave the connection open.


Resolutions:
Please re-register the following files:
regsvr32 msscript.ocx
regsvr32 dispex.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll

1. Click "Start," and then click "Run."
2. Type regsvr32 msscript.ocx in the "Open" box and click "OK."
3. Repeat for dispex.dll,vbscript.dll, and scrrun.dll.

Next, make sure file (open) type .JS is properly associated:
1. In Control Panel, click "Folder Options," and then click "File Types."
2. Locate the .JS extension and click "Advanced."
3. Make sure the "Application to perform action" field contains:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %* This is for a Windows XP computer.
For Windows 2000 substitute the C:\WINDOWS\ with C:\Winnt\. For Windows 98
and Windows Millenium Edition substitute this: C:\WINDOWS\System\ for
C:\Windows\system32.




Issue Applies To:
Windows 2000
Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition
Windows Millennium Edition
Windows XP

Try to upgrade to DSL otherwise get some download manager like Getright
which will continue where you left off and will save your life more than
once if you are using a modem dial up.
