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..

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.

You obviously haven't read what I've posted. It isn't a matter of belief, but
a matter of capability. 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.
