Works great.
There's been a network driver that hanging around for some time, but it would not install from IE. Just installed it fine with this. :thumbsup:
Nice find.
The more I think of it ,this thread should be pinned ? All the trouble people seem to be having with winupdates and illegal keys . Worth a Firefox D/L anyway. :)

So there's no risk even with illegitimate copies?
It freezes for me after it has downloaded the updates. :(

if you guys are talking about the genuine windows validation check that can be disables in internet explorer also, just follow the instructions found here.
Same here. Managed to fix my initial problems but it freezes or outright crashes when trying to install the updates.Quote:
