I thought I'd try asking again, because the more I think about it, and re-read this thread, the more sure I am that I do have SP2 lurking in the background. When I last did a manual update (before this thread came into being with its permenant blockage advice), I wwent to the update site which first scanned my system to look for critical updates required, then my computer began downloading for a long time, then I had the choice of what I wanted to install. I did not install SP2, but it seems I must have downloaded it - and so it must be in my system, waiting for d-day to rear its ugly head and assert itself as master of my domain (insert maniacle laughter here).

Any advice on what I can do now?

Thanks,

crackers.
