When I logged on this morning I was told updates had been installed and I should reboot my computer. I did that then went to Add/Remove and there are 4 or 5 updates dated Aug.13,08. I can't remember (and cannot find) the number of SP3. I went back to Security Center and changed to option 2 on the updates--notify me but do not install. Now I have the little shield again with 43% complete. Maybe I am finally getting SP3. I am a bit confused as to why nothing would happen for so long and now it is very busy downloading updates. Sandi P.S. I am leaving for a re-union this afternoon. May be late getting back this evening. Need to check more on this Air card thing tomorrow a.m. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 10:02 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: SP3 updates > Sandi, > That's correct.
