I can handle having to redoe my hard drvive every now and then but I ma really ****ed that I got the Blaster worm from the MS update server and now I am stuck with the standard W2K package and it is not working right.

I believe I am going to have to re-install again.

I have dial up and the downloads are killing me.

You do not have to reinstall from the worm. Just run the patch and the removal tool.

Here are the complete instructions that you will need

FYI: If you reinstall Win2k without the patch you will more than likely be targeting again and infected.

well svchost.exe keeps crashing whatever that is and I do not have all my updates downloaded since MS is bad news right now.

I do not know all the ins and outs of this computer stuff.

the link you gave me will not work now either for me. always did before...?

First thing you did not get this worm from MSUpdate. It infected you thru an open port (135) It will keep infecting you no matter how many times you reinstall windows untill you put up some kind of firewall and get the patch installed 0r you disconnect from the internet. . Here is a thread with a lot of good info. http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=223406&highlight=Remote+Procedure

You can order service packs from M$, they usually only charge shipping cost,sometimes its free, They sent me SP 1 & 2 for Office 2000 for absolutely nothing shipped to my door by UPS.

From Microsoft.com
"United States and Canada can order the CD from this Web site. The CD costs U.S. $14.95 (CDN $19.95) plus $5 shipping and handling (CDN $7.50). "
Order the CD by Phone or Fax
Call (800) 360-7561
Fax (716) 447-7330

It's kinda pricey. that the price per service pack!

Wow! That's expensive. Why not trip over to a buddy who's got a cable modem...download and burn them to a cd.

Save a little $ and perfectly legal.
