I have been over this many times, and spent many hours onthis. The last time I went over it with my dealer, about 6 mos ago,he said there was some sort of problem and I would just have to letSW download everything all over again.
I am yet, doing it again. In a (perhaps vain) attempt to get my SWinstall working nicely with my video, I have just finished wipingmy hard drive clean, and spent 3 hours getting windows installed.
I hoped that my previous downloads of the service packs would be ofsome help, but it looks like it isn't. When I started the installfrom the CD, it prompted me to download SP2.1 and install itinstead of the CD version. I was glad to avoid the "install oldversion" / "install update" sequence, but had hoped to avoid thetime consuming download. But, no joy here.
So, the next best would be to install the older version from theCD, and then the 2.1 update from my saved files. But, yet again,even though I run the updatemanager from the directory when I savedit, it automatically goes to download all the files again. I cannotfind any way around this.
Is there something I am missing?
