Unfortunately the only text from you or anyone else that the regular
volunteers in this newsgroup have seen with this thread is your 5 lines
below -- i.e., we have not seen any of the earlier remarks. That's because
we are on a different server from the Mactopia server that you came through.
Some of the time, the Mactopia server fails to pass the posts on.
So we're somewhat in the dark at the moment.
Please give us full details of your problem (describe *exactly* what is
happening, since we can only go on what you tell us). Mention the latest Mac
OS update you have applied, and say exactly what happens re "Cannot get my
machine to take the 12.2.0 or 12.2.3 updates".
Please get back to us via a new post that alludes to the problem in the
subject line.
With luck, your next post will also come through and we can then understand
your problem and provide a solution.
But to make absolutely sure we see your post, you could take the action
recommended at
http://word.mvps.org/Mac/AccessNewsgroups.html under "Access
via newsreaders" and "Setting up Entourage for newsreading".
