#$@! Windows

[kelliem]

This latest Windows Update is driving me mad (yes, you Maccers may point and jeer now). It works fine on every work computer I've installed it on, but my little laptop at home which is my only home computer? Nope. I've tried twice now, and after I install it, I can't access email or the web, so I have to do a system restore to before I installed it. Then the little ! shield keeps nagging me to reinstall it. Grr. Now I am going to have to go fishing on the MS website to see if I can find a reference to the issue and what to do with it.

Wish me luck, I'm going in.

eta: looks like a Zone Alarm conflict: They've posted a fix:

After I got the problem with Zone Alarm fixed, somehow WinUpdate fried my wireless keyboard and mouse software so I had to reinstall that, too. I don't have the world's fastest machine so it took FOREVER what with all the reboots! I *think* everything's running okay now, though.

Good luck with your OS problem!!

Oh, and I got the playbill, etc! Cool stuff! PS is aging damned well.

I'm glad to see that fixed it! \o/
