    For some reason, Windows Update has decided to wage war on me. There are a few critical updates that JUST WON'T INSTALL, no matter what I do. And of course, being ever so helpful, Windows Update will not tell my *why* they failed to install, or even how to install them manually... but just that they failed. Where can I turn? Anywhere? :sigh: If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

              Bummer. That site still RELIES on IE. I navigated with Mozilla and it bitched and whined and begged me to use IE. --- "This isn't right. This isn't even wrong." -Wolfgang Pauli (1900 - 1958), on a paper submitted by a physicist colleague

                Tools/Options/General/Temporary Internet Files/Settings/View Objects Now, look the "Update Class". Right-click, "Remove". Now, close your browser and re-run Windows Update. It will reinstall the updater ActiveX. I need to do it from time to time... You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

You don't need 'em anyways. :laugh: (Just kidding) Dave Goodman dgoodman@infoway.com www.dkgoodman.com "Actio sequitur esse."
