Hi Dave,
----------------------------------------Had the IE7 final already...in English, as the Italian is not on offer yet, but baffled at the absence of an optional....just got an email from my bank to say that they are not compatible yet with IE7, but also FFx 2.0.....workaround to run it in IE6...... yeah right. The rest was rather smooth, no requests for booting this time....how amazing, and suggesting some zero day holes were left that came to surface last week. Give u a funny one.... the latest spam scan (3rd party) identified some registry remnants of Win Defender as partial trace of spyware HMBLM ciao ciao

Is your bank Firefox friendly yet? Mine came up with an idea a couple of months ago, they accept just the last 8 digits of the account without a space now. Instantly FF compatible.  Cheers. ozylynx |

Well my bank is a good bank, so they followed up just after my scribes. now they are ffx2.0 compatible and sure enough could log in again without having to resort to using IEtab (a IE frame inside inside ffx appearing as a tab).
----------------------------------------Actually, they now use a challenge code on top....but in Swiss style, numbers only :D ciao ciao

Sad news. My computer just tried to auto restart after the updates download.
If you have critical stuff that doesn't like autorestarts it's time to act NOW!! Cheers. ozylynx |

The critical updates require a reboot. There is also an optional peer-to-peer name resolution that requires a reboot if you download it.

Sorry ozylynx
----------------------------------------I did see that but I forgot to mention it  at the end of the IE7 download it asks you if you would like to restart now or later and then promptly restarts your PC itself before you get to hit the Later button |

For those that dont like for the WUACLT.EXE to continuously call home and sneak CPU time on top every 60 minutes, or in case of received updates, every 30 minutes.... type "NET STOP WUAUSERV" in the command line or a DOS window. It will be gone until next boot, so u need to add a short cut in the autostart folder to send it to the pearly gates. Now have the red shield in the systray, to tell me it's not on.....can live with that for now ;>)
----------------------------------------You are entirely on your own if u do this, just that you know! cheers

It's Windows Patch Tuesday again.
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2071668,00.asp I had to reboot twice - once after the critical security fixes (8+ MB) and once after the optional (Windows Media Player 11 at 24+MB plus some small changes, such as Australia's Daylight Savings Time change). Oddly, McAfee AV complained about the installation script on one computer, so I had to click to run the script. AVG AntiVirus on the other computer was not worried. Lawrence |
