I've been watching the install progress of windows update,
for just a couple patches just CRAWL. It has, now, just
gotten all the way tot he right side, but has still not
finished.

I've been watching this happen for three hours now. At
first I thought it was hung, but it is just REALLY REALLY
slow.

I'm running XP Pro SP1 on a Compaq 2175. This is the ONLY
thing running on the system and I only installed 3
updates, so it's not like I'm doing a bunch of stuff.

It downloaded really fast and has been trying to finish
the update.

I had this happen earlier when trying to install Office XP
and finally killed it, via the task manager and have since
rebooted the system to do this update. I thought the
Office XP install was hung, but I bet it was just slow as
well.

Any ideas???
 
Hello,
No. The install of the patches could be slow for a number of reasons.
Memory,
Processor, Drive space and fragmentation, whether or not other apps are
running in the background. I'd suggest runnign a performance monitor to
determine why the patches are installing slowly.
