Helen21 - Glad to hear the good news. It's important that you get SP2 (and the other Microsoft updates) installed on the machine if it isn't already on there.

As other guys have posted elsewhere it's usually available on the cover CDs of the main PC magazines in the UK.

Let us know if you need any more help...

Helen - I can understand the nervousness, but SP2 is really important. There are a number of other members who have been hit by al sorts of viruses and scumware because they haven't installed SP2.

Getting rid of those is much harder...take a look at the following thread if you want to see the difficulties.

We'll happily help you through any SP2 installation problems you're having.

I think people should be aware now that you're not just a pretty face Helen! You are now a techie! :rotfl:

instead of trying to do it from the windows update download the network version here so you've a physical copy of it incase it won't install on the update.
