I can't follow your directions
Well I stopped after trying to install service pack 3. I was able to perform the deletion from the run command. However, after downloading service pack 3 i was directed to install 99 security and other updates. All of the updates failed. Below is what the site posted after failure. Should I attempt to go back to having just service pack 2? Should I continue on with the rest of your instructions?
It says that I didn't accept the end user agreement, I did. It says that I don't have enough disc space which isn't true. It also says that my automatic update is running, which it isn't. Please advise.
