    Ditto - I'm fed up with IE not being able to save pages - It spends ages trying, 10%, 20%, (long pause), 30%, etc, and then conks out. That never happens with Firefox.

    Why don't you visit the Windows Update site and have it check your machine?
    How do you know the Windows Update Site hasnt been hijacked ?

    Now - that - would be the ultimate hack.

    Are you sure that your browser hasn't been hijacked already?

    Try clearing your browser cache and then try running Windows Update.

    I am assuming that you haven't done any Windows updates before?

    Thanks guys. I guess I had better try again and leave it for longer. Hourglasses/progress bars who needs them?

    Overdating overnight sounds flash. I once let a version of a browser get so old it became incapable of loading any of the available later versions. I had to get my IP to send me a new install CD.

    Just put it on there, took about 15 seconds to install on a pretty fast laptop.

    System restore takes a bout a minute to run before the exe runs as well

    I don't know. My machines updated themselves overnight.

    I downloaded and ran the patch from the link above. The patch exe took ages to run, but did eventually, and gave confirmation of completion.
