could it be a prob with my os?

is it a *cough, cough* legit OS? (not (racked)?
i dont have a prob on mine (OEM legit)
and i got the emule and k++ blocklists in my firewall
with my firewall up and my AV too
and all kinds of ad/spy protection runnin also
guess i&#39;m tyrin to say that security features shouldn&#39;t block you out
unless you got ms&#39;s update site blocked
or your cd key/serial is black listed

well reading the thread i would guess you dont have the site blocked :">

not saying that is the prob, just offering some thoughts
set all your IE setings to default, see if that helps
maybe have to run the check disc for errors
if all fails, maybe change the key

(heard this has to be done with certain installs of xp pro)

[abu_has_the_power]

wat&#39;s the best disc checker thing? i have norton systemworks 2k4 installed

chkdsk /r
