| 1426756 | 2016-10-01 05:39:00 | It came in and when I went to shut down, I got the "Do not turn off your computer while updates are being installed . Your computer will shut off when it's through" or words to that effect . Yeah - I'm still running XP-Pro and Puppy as a dual-boot . I get to Puppy less than XP since I cannot get puppy to recognize my soundcards - but we talked about that a while back . What's with the XP UPdate? |

| 1426761 | 2016-10-01 16:43:00 | Phewwww! Glad to see that it's normal and not a hacker . I've met some people in Pasadena when I lived in SoCal - and they seem to remember a Reverend with a funny accent some years ago . He always told to his congregation and those watching on TV: "When you send money to The Lord - He doesn't want noisy money, just quite money" . As for those Upsidedown Land escapees to Pennsylvania - well, we don't talk about that state here in Montana . (shudder!) New York falls into the same category of non-existence . It's roundup time here in Montana and we might hear an occasional cuss word that invokes either--- or in times of real disgust --- BOTH those state's names in the same under-breath utterance . Those moments are, however, rare . |

Your computer will shut off when it's through" or words to that effect... What's with the XP UPdate? Just for the hell of it, I asked for an update check here for WXP. It came up with one! KB898461 "Installs a permanent copy of Package Installer..." Possibly an update I hadn't installed years ago? |

| 1426764 | 2016-10-01 22:50:00 | Just for the hell of it, I asked for an update check here for WXP. It came up with one! KB898461 "Installs a permanent copy of Package Installer..." Possibly an update I hadn't installed years ago? I just did that too. I got the "You need to upgrade Internet Exploder to Version 8" and it gave me an option to ignore this IE 8 update ---- then ---- here, get this ---- > don't blink -----> THEN it said that: "Updates cannot be viewed unless you update your Windows Internet Exploder to Ver.8". Uh huh. I just wanna do dat! Don' I? Yassir! Dat's fer me! Thwwwppptt! |
