[softwarelist] Re: OvnPro 2.77 type 5 errors

Hi,
Thanks for all the support messages. I did system restore on my XP PC, and then networking worked again.
Version 2.77 of Ovation Pro for RISC OS 14th. January 2009 is available from: 
http://www.davidpilling.com/ovationpro/upgrade/op277.zip
This fixes Keith's bug with rendering graphics in irregular frames.
Meanwhile presumably I am now betwixt the devil and the deep blue sea, can't use the network if I upgrade Windows and open to virus's or whatever if I don't. Almost as soon as I had got the file from RISC OS, Windows told me it was ready to install an upgrade - presumably the same one as yesterday. Amusingly it is insisting on installing the updates, seemingly if I leave the computer for 5 minutes it will install them automatically - I may be sat here for sometime.
I can tell you another tale. I have a "new" PC which has Vista on and which I don't use. A couple of weeks back I turned it on for the first time in nine months, naturally I didn't think it was safe without getting the upgrades. After a merry session of "can't upgrade without upgrading Windows upgrade" and "can't upgrade Windows upgrade" Windows installed about 40 upgrades, my PC then would not boot. I try repair from the CD, no good. I used system restore from the CD and it worked again.
Naturally, or idiotically I tried the upgrade again, same result, but this time there is no restore point - ** lesson, always create a restore point. ** I have to re-install Windows, not much hardship on that PC. I then install the upgrades a few at a time. At the moment I believe the trouble is called by NVidia's upgrade for their RAID drivers.
I think we're at the point where "My PC" is no longer my PC. It is being taken over by others. Hardly a day goes by without Apple trying to install iTunes on it. If I let it then every time I insert a blank CD they try to sell me music. 

I might have bought an Apple but if this is how they are...
