    A very bad release. I have installed it on a fresh copy of Windows XP home OEM. This update completly destroyed my operating system. I had to format my hard disk and install a fresh copy of windows XP. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT OR TRY TO INSTALL!

    Downloaded and ran the "short installation" version with no problems.

    Received error "cannot locate server" when the computer looked for files to download to computer.

    After several tries, I am downloading the full version.

    Apparently, MS server is not capable of downloading all request that are sent to it??

    Maybe I am trying at the wrong time of the day, or the wrong day of the week.

    I have experenced this problem with MS before while updating software.

    My system worked perfectly. Installed the service pack. Had serious problems with Windows Explorer. Uninstalled the service pack and ran a system restore. Everything now fine again. So this little offering is a big non-starter on my system.
