streets, also, make sure your Windows XP has service pack 1 installed.

here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/p...p1/default.asp

The service pack is VERY important for the USB update that it contains, and it might be what is causing your static.

streets, When you type in all capitals out here on the 'net, it's considered shouting. I know working with computers can sometimes be frustrating, but there's no need to shout. Just keep calm and we'll see what we can do to help.

As for your problem, I really don't know what is going on there. That's more of a windows problem than a Pro Tools problem. It's also been a really long time since I've installed SP1.

Does the user you are logged in as have administrator rights to that computer? If not, that might be the issue, but at this point I'm just guessing.

You might also want to try doing it from the Windows Update site. If there's a problem with the install, it might at least give you an error message.

It might help if you read the text in the windows that opens, and act appropiatly (sp?)
