Thanks.  Now I just have to figure out how to make get and apply them, since Microsoft has changed the automated site to require options I have turned off.

I think you just have to have BITS (something intelligtent transfer service) turned on. Its under services.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

You can try downloading the patches manually by following the links in the second link I posted.

Microsoft warns of HP patch problem

Users of Hewlett-Packard printers, scanners and cameras may be experiencing some problems after installing Microsoft's latest round of security patches, released late last week. The problems, which concern a Windows operating system patch numbered MS06-015, can cause some applications to crash, Microsoft warned Saturday.

"The scope is limited at the moment, but the impact might be that an application could hang when conducting certain operations, like opening a file from the 'File-open' dialog in an application," warned Microsoft Security Program Manager Mike Reavey, in a Saturday posting to the Microsoft Security Response center blog. Microsoft believes that the problem is primarily affecting consumer users and is having "little to no impact on corporate networks," Reavey said.

Possible workaround (from Microsoft) posted here:

This is causing people at my work (and therefore me) some problems. Word hangs, Outlook hangs when attaching files, etc. The workaround is to rename a file that is named verclsid.exe to verclsid.old.
