From: Bill on 13 Jun 2010 09:43 For the last two days the computer has been trying to add a new update "Mircosoft .NET Framwork 1.1 SP1" on my computer. Currently I have SP3 loaded and working with Windows XP professional. It fails on the download, fails on a install from re-start and fails from a direct internet install ERROR Ox643. What solutions do you have?

If you do all of the following - a few things should be more certain than they were before you started...
