    Could someone pls. help me here.

    I just installed Win2K pro (clean install) and wanted to go update my version plus i.e 6 upgrade and DirectX 8 via internet connection. I found out that a lot of things vere missing in my installation, so I decided to go ahead and install the missing bits and pieces.

    But NO-WAY it just wont do it. I hit D/L and after a little while it just comes back and tells me that it's unable to do so. Has it got anything to do with administrator rights and if so what do I do then, or what's going on ????

    You must be an administrator to install anything from the Windows update site
    Also, (as I just found out this past weekend), you will need to visit that site quite a few times and have several reboots before getting all of the updates.
    I wish they could just role all of the updates and service packs into one big download, but I guess they couldn't do that many.. :p
