Just as well it was a friend, it took just over 4 hrs to do the XP critical updates and it dropped out twice. I pity anyone that has to re-install and update all on a slow connection, I have ISDN (DOWNLOAD AROUND 1 MEG A MINUTE) When I crashed my computer thanks to SP2 it took me around 40 minutes to do the critical updates alone but still took me around 6 hrs with no problems to put all my stuff on, PGP is a little trick and takes some time to set up, and the ISDN connection is a problem sometimes to set up, It never recognises the USB port you want it to use.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 17.
