HA! No, I have SP 3. Both hotfixes are for SP 1 or 2. When I tried to install them, I got an error message saying that they couldn't be installed on my system because the hotfixes were too old.

Here's the log...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update]
"UpdateMode"= 0x0000000001 (1)

Right click on UpdateMode, click Modify, and change the value to 0 (zero).
Restart computer.

Sorry if I'm making a stupid mistake, but "updatemode" is just in the text log file, and there's no "modify" option. What am I missing?

[OpenOutcome]

Broni means to navigate to that place in the registry and edit the value of "UpdateMode".

• Open the Registry Editor:
• Start > RUN > type "regedit" without the quotes.
• On the left panel navigate through to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update]
• On the right panel,

  Right click on UpdateMode, click Modify, and change the value to 0 (zero).

• Restart computer.

DING DING DING! That worked. Whatever that fixed also seems to have things moving along a little faster with the cut/paste/delete commands.

Muchas, muchas gracias.

[Broni]

I'm glad, it worked
I'm sorry for not being clear on my previous instructions

Thanks OpenOutcome
