Originally posted by slickrenderer hmmmm!!! I downloaded SP3 then it asked me to download some security patches. SP3? Then it was on your system for quite a while? Why not just grab SP4 (as it sounds like you're on Win2k), which is the latest and greatest? I upgrades individually, and didn't receive anything from MS other than the SP (well, and the bugs they intend for you to have). If you use a DA, could it have been something dealing with them?
