| 311246 | 2005-01-07 02:46:00 | windows update only works with IE. i don't know if anyone has got it working with firefox/thirdparty activeX yet. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 311247 | 2005-01-07 03:22:00 | Nah, you're right, which is why you install WinXP SP2 first coz then you've got Auto-Updates and dont needa go to Windows Update. Windows Update _does_ work without it :) This is why you simply rename the "Internet Explorer" folder to "Dead Weight" or something ;) |

| 311250 | 2005-01-07 04:00:00 | OK possibly my mistake I think I was actually grabbing clipart from the msoffice online thing not windows update although I will double check as i do have vague memories of getting some patch for office 2000 clipart manager from the same site aarggh someone prove me right, I don't feel like carrying the computer downstairs to hook up to the net just to check if it works |

| 311253 | 2005-01-07 16:10:00 | I just have ZoneAlarm block IE. It can't do a thing. Vince Vince, I tend to have it blocking all out going except, what is required to run firefox, but firefox itself is also blocked. Nothing gets out without authority that way. |
