Hey Guitarman,
I am back home where and moved the old computer back here from relatives
house. You helped me set it up from dial up to cable. Now I want to
connect dialup again. You said it should not be a problem and I am online
but I want it the way it was. I had disabled total access (an earthlink
thing) from startup. I ticked that so it would start up as I could not go
online without it. I "used to be able to" click on the "e" at the bottom of
my screen for explorer and a signup window for earthlink appeared that I
like alot better than this total access stuff. When I use it with the total
access sign in it is slower and they put a toolbar thingy at the top of my
screen I do not like.
question is can I do a systems restore since I did create a restore point
right before setting up for the cable sign in. Will that fix the dial up
the way it was (the sign in window etc.). And since last week I defraged
and also compressed old files, will it change that back or will that remain
the same? I know it does not affect files that are saved.
p.s. also how do I make my email (from) back to earthlink as default instead
of cox cable. i.e. poppy0206@xxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of poppy0206@xxxxxxxx
thanks,
hope this all makes sense.
Christine

HB,
It only applies to systems that actually installed any of the affected
updates. The problem only occurred with updates that require a WGA check
(and that only affects certain ones such as .NET upgrades). To clarify,
this was a problem with the validation site itself, and not with the
individual updates. My post was to assure anyone who was already affected
by the mess.
Regardless, the problem has been fixed, so it's no longer an issue.
Feel free to go ahead and install at will. :O)
Peace,
GMan
