Well GaRHaR,
It seems to be working.

We shall see if this is to be so however! I went to the link you rec. and followed directions to run chkdsk and restart. I then went back to windows update and proceeded to try to downloaded SP2 for XP. The browser closed on me , so I uninstalled SBC YAHOO Browser and was then able to download the SP2 update. I am now installing antivirus software and then if you are still here I will login from other

computer (really like the smilies if you can't tell) and show you what it has.
Thank you so much for all the help!!!!
