Yes.. I heard about the update that was pulled.. when I tried to get it, the
download and install history recorded a fail.. but that is not part of the last bunch, and others have reported zero problems with the current updates.. And yes, of course there will always be glitches.. no, not all MS software is perfect, and in some cases, MS seems unwilling (or maybe unable) to fix some issues.. but we do not live in a perfect world.. Added to that, there are some who give all of their thinking time to bringing down whatever MS produces.. IT terrorists who never show themselves, because too many would throw stones at them.. Re. open minds, they should be open to ALL things.. never, ever think that other software houses are any better, because they are not.. and they have the same issues.. how do they test their software on every conceivable configuration of PC?.. almost every computer is different, and operator ability is every bit as big of a variable.. Instead of seeing the perfect computer as a birthright, I think we should be glad that PC's work as well as they do.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User wrote in message ... You should read the thread on "Recent Recall of Windows Updates" & the associated problem. It does point out explicitly that not all ms updates are better than no updates. An open mind is needed as ms definitely cannot provide *perfect* code/software; if ms did perfect work, updates/service-packs wouldn't have been needed.

I simply can NOT apply to a desired prospective employer's on-line application system with WinXP Pro SP2. Greg Strong, That has nothing to do with xp sp1 or xp sp2. It is a web-based form? Is it at an acrobat fill-in form? Did you try a different browser like firefox? Note if it an acrobat fill in form. You need to remove acrobat reader then reinstall it, Another possibility is that you had a yellow bar pop up in Internet explorer and say the activex content has been disabled. You can change this action. Greg Ro |
