Hi folks,
Sorry this took so long to reply... did the reformat and have been installing and patching like mad. Here's what I did...
I downloaded SP1a first, obviously... Then, after digging around MSes website for literally hours, I discovered that they have a "Rollup" of some the latest security updates. It was a 9 MB file and I simply downloaded it along with SP1a and burned both to CD. After the reformat, the system took both patches just fine, and when it was all said and done, I only had 7 more to get off of MSes website (which I just used Windows Update for that.)
It worked out great!
Thanks for all the tips. As far as the avatar, maybe I'll play with something when I get this system back up to snuff.
