Are you trying to update from the game browser or is it from a 3rd party site ?

From the game browser.

Try and get the updates from a 3rd party site such as the game developers site. Post your results and good luck.

I can play someMMOs on my XP laptop; however, I must be in windowed mode. It will crash in full screen mode. 512Megs of ram, 2.1 GHz cpu.

So, you might check for a program in the MMO folder that will let you configure things without running the game, or an ini (initialization) file you can edit in a text editor. Might be in defaults.ini or something like hardware.ini Or a similar filename.
