Peter,
There really aren’t any updates anyway.
Yes, Peter, Nancy is right. Also go to the PE prefs and set "check for updates" to "never".
Is there any difference between selecting update in the Help menu or using update set to never in preferences – manually?
Using "Manually" in preference I got "no updates available" or something like that. Anyway, no problem connecting and displaying that information. worked like you would expect.
Clicking on update in the Help Menu I got the spinning beach ball ( with an apparent incomplete update check). After a few tries it told me I needed this 8MB update but only provided an esoteric (text edit) message when I clicked download.
Hi, Peter. It’s all moot because there are no/have not been any updates for PE2. Just forget it and lead a more peaceful life. What you are seeing is a little program that PE uploads to check for the non-existent downloads.
EDIT Nice and succinct and you beat me, Mac.
That download is the "download manager" or "helper" or whatever. It helps you download the nothing that is there to download.

Had my grand daughters on my lap and could not give a proper response. Thanks again.You explained it all to me. I didn’t know what was going on and thought I had a corruption problem somewhere.
