don't think you can reinstall patches from the windows update site, but if you
go to <A
href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads">www.microsoft.com/downloads</A> there
is a catalogue list of ALL the patches they've ever
produced.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=212160508-14082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
downloaded SP4 in it's entirety and stored it on my server so that I could patch
all the pc's here without using all my bandwidth. I'd say a reinstall of sp4 was
in order.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[dba-Tech] WIndows update aarrrggh<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Just sharing some
frustration....today to make sure that I could avoid this new worm which I had
not been infected with yet, I went to the site MS has advertised and let MS
'review' my Win 2K Pro version and recommend updates. It then showed alist of
updates I could make and after reading through the first one (re: the scurity
hole) I went ahead and installed it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I now cannot do all kinds of things,
eg. I can;t open a pdf file with Acrobat reader ('Acrobat has generted
errors...') and when I tried to just reinstall Acrobat Reader I get errors
telling me that the Windows installer file is corrupt and that the installation
cannot proceed. I am also having quirky problems in IE - none of which I was
having before going near the MS site. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If I go back to the MS site and try
to re-install that patch or any other it throws and error and chucks me
out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am now faced with reinstalling
Windows............sigh. </FONT></DIV>
