W2K PC and when trying TO INSTALL the MDAC patch from Windows Update, the PC states that it installed it, but when I scan my PC it states that I still have that one patch left to install over and over again. Can someone please help...

First, welcome to the forum!

Second, I don't update windows, so I can't help unfortunatly. I've never ran windows update ever (exept for that one time I did and it screwed up win98) and never had problems. But you have to use a firewall otherwise known security holes are there. A router blocks most of these security holes as well.

Hope someone can help you out though... windows can be frustrating when it starts "lying" to you like that.

Not familiar with what you are trying to do but I found this on the net.

Red,

I know you're against the whole Windows Update thing, but you should at least bring Windows 2000 up to SP4 (Get it Here)
