the last two times I have tried to update iTunes via Software Update, I have run into the "can't expand and install the file" error after DLing it. I've been able to manually DL the iTunes updates from Apple's site, so no biggie, but it's rather annoying. Any ideas why it might be happening? I thought it was just a fluke last time, but it's obviously something more than that. -- David R. Boag, DDS spikedds at bellsouth.net http://www.southatlantadental.com/
