What's your internet? Dialup? Broadband? Speed? Who is your ISP? Have you gone over your quota?

Don't let your system automatically windows update.
1. Always look at updates and install the small files first.
2. Then install the larger ones .....one at a time.

Newly purchased computers will have tons of updates and bloated software so when I purchase a new computer I
1. Remove all bloated and trial software.
2. Do a windows update like the above instructions.
3. Go into msconfig and see what is listed under the "start up " tab as you want your system to start up smoothly and quickly.

These are just a few things I have done and have been very successful with a good running system.

I would say the dialup is your problem. Some of those updates are huge especially SP1. If you had someone close by with wireless you could get the updates in no time.

If it is saying that it is installing updates after all this time some thing is amiss. Has it made any more progress or just sitting there at the same percent?

You can choose that one or the one above to notify you before downloading.
That way you can look at what is being sent to download. More important the size of each file.

Well it's moved along. That's a good thing.

With updates I have mine set to let me choose what ones to download. The update icon lets you know when updates are available. Pretty much what that link says although windows 7 is a little bit different.

It is installing because the updates are already downloaded. I don't know why it will run with no battery or power though.:confused:

Gary,
He could being running on power supply from wall.

Somewhere I read that it may or may not extend battery life if you remove battery when electric power supply is available. But my memory has failed me before so don't take this as Gospel truth.
