ok windows gurus help me out here, cause i mainly use linux (slack/gentoo) so xp is supposed to be a piece of cake but since its also a POS its being a PITA right now.
i go to windows update to get sp2 (just installed xp yesterday and got all updates prior to sp2 (except i never had to download sp1?? i kept going with the auto updates and it got to sp2 after a few security updates, never did sp1) anyway, it starts downloading the next update (sp2) and stays at 0% forever. i cancel, go to windows update manually (only time i ever use IE
) and it says next update is sp2, click download, stays at 0% forever; then i download dev-c++ from sourceforge, 90kb/s
what gives??
sp2 on windows update is 70mb. from third party sites its 270MB. so i dont want a third party link, i want a fix to this ****ty windows update crap
people say windows is easier, but really, its linux that just works.
thanks in advance
