Windows Update...August 21, 2003
Hello all.

I am wondering if anyone who has their Windows Update set to automatic and had an update downloaded to their computer this morning?

I notice my Windows Update in the system tray and it is downloading quite slow (at 8% after an hour of downloading)...and I am on a Satellite connection, so that is quite slow.

If you had the updates downloaded, what were they?

I noticed that Windows Update website has the following critical updates for today:

August 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (822925)

Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (823718)
========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,
Me

Same here. The first 'culmulative patch' contains three quite large patches according to The Registry today, which might account for the slow download.

Thanks all....

Yea, it took three hours to download and install. Then took another ten minutes re-boot my computer.

Busy servers. I'm on a 2.5 mb connection and I noticed it took about 10 mins to d/l the 3+ mb worth of material.

Rebooting was instant though.
