I am in fact posting from this machine. I did the update route a
month ago or so and the 6 updates downloaded and the first one
applied but the others simply will not apply.
When my system slows down, I can check the task manager and there is
a process "Windows XP - KB835732-x86-enu.exe" running. I have to
kill it to keep going.
I have tried over and over to get these updates to apply with the
same result. I have poured over the MS XP sites trying to find a
solution. I would dearly like to get these applied and get off this
problem but cannot seem to find an answer.
If you have a silver bullet, I would be very grateful for its use to
either delete these downloads and start over or whatever it takes.

Thanks for noticing, George

George. Are you posting from the problem machine? From your headers,
it would appear that you haven't been to Windows Updates since you
got the machine. What OS are you supposedly using?
