Microsoft downloads are not installing
Just bought a new computer, and finished setting up
Windows XP, AOL, Office 2003, Norton Antivirus. Went to Microsoft's Update Download site, which scanned my new computer and listed 19 critical updates (16.1 MB). Accepted all of them, began the download process. Took about an hour. The "progress" bar reached 100%, but installation never started. Waited about 20 minutes, with no progress on the installation bar, so cancelled out. Tried again, this time removing all but one update from the list of 19. This time, "download" was almost instantaneous (I assume it's because it was already downloaded to my computer the first time), but still installation never began Any suggestions on how to get installation to start? |

Steve,
Do updates just a few at a time. Reboot. Run for awhile to make sure things are ok, then update some more. That way if a particular update causes a problem you can more easily back track.
