Need help finding Microsoft download
« on: May 03, 2006, 11:11:03 PM »
I need some help finding the Microsoft download that keeps your download in progress information when a dial up internet connection unexpectedly shuts off when you are in the middle of a Microsoft Update.

It would be for an ME system.

I have Googled it to death,  been on Microsoft searching, I guess I'm probably not phrasing it right, cause I'm not finding anything about it.

But I am sure I stumbled across it once on Microsoft's site and seen mention of it on here I believe.

Thanks,
 Fordtruckmaniac

    I thought Windows just did that by itself, is your ME uptodate?
    Ever thought of shifting up a gear to W2K? ;)

    Yes its up to date.

    I just reloaded it with the manufacturer's system recovery disk.

    I tinker in the basement, I just have dial up down there. It disconnected earlier and left me having to reload some of the Microsoft Updates.  :'( .

    I'm all over the keeping things updated!

    Have you looked at any third-party options, such as Free Download Manager?  I have not used it; I found it via a Google search on download manager.
