Hi all, Call me stupid, but I've just turned off automatic updating from Microsoft. I've had so much crap going on with my computer with having this option enabled its not funny. I'm happy with my computer as it is. I don't care about critical updates. If I screw up my computer by not having them, its better than the current course I guess than having them installed. I have an anti virus, a fire wall. I don't need MS messing with my configurations. If I don't have sp2, big deal. At least my Zoomtext won't take a conniption. Automatic update is off and that is the way its staying. Am I alone? Peter -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
