<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi Jon. Thanks for that. About half
an hour after sending that message I shut down the PC and it has taken me 2
days to get back online. I took advantage of the disaster (couldn;t start
Windows at all) to upgrade to Win XP Pro and now I'm back online.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Thanks for the tip
anyway.</FONT></DIV>

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>

<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>
