Sylvia, Have you tried SFC, System File Checker. It may or may not help, but it will certainly do no damage. Open the run box and just type in SFC, and make sure you have your Windows CD in the CD drive too. It is the only thing I can think of that may help, other than formatting your computer, which I am sure you do not want to do in a hurry!! Sorry not to be of much help, Trevnal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sylviavandewall" <pvdwall@xxxxxxxxx> Hi, I went to the Windows-update site and there it said: Looking for the newest version from Windows update Software. Than I get a new menu with the message: Do you want to install and run Windows update signed 8-26-2003 7.10 pm and distributed by Microsoft Corporation. I click on YES and my computer freezes up. Tried it over and over again, also restarted the computer and tried it again but it keeps on freezing up. Does anybody know what I can do?? I have WindowsME. My computer runs fine and I never have a freeze up with other program's. Sylvia.....Holland.
