| 540951 | 2007-04-14 08:53:00 | I'm getting to the "crabby & frustrated" stage now - I begin to feel I should go back to IE6....:groan: | R.M. (561) | ||
| 540952 | 2007-04-14 09:00:00 | Is IE 7 still installed now? If it is installed now, open it and go to tools/internet options/advanced tab. And click on reset, so it resets everything back to the default settings. I take it the PC you're talking about, isnt the one you're on now? Since you're here. or are u using another browser? |

| 540953 | 2007-04-14 09:16:00 | IE7 is still installed, and it is the lappy I'm talking about. I have IE6 on the PC. What is now even worse, is that I've completely lost my network connection for my lappy, and can't connect to the Internet. Back to the drawing board tomorrow I think! (before I throw something out the door..) Thanks for your help, but I'll take a break and have a rethink when I'm feeling calmer about it. :badpc: |

| 540954 | 2007-04-14 09:48:00 | I've Restored to 1 week ago. I can now connect back on to the internet, the mouse is working again (it wasn't for a while), but I have no updates in place... Something for tomorrow perhaps (or perhaps not!). I could go and take photos instead... Then perhaps my camera might die (I feel like that a bit at the moment!). Cheers for now :). |

| 540955 | 2007-04-15 03:46:00 | Just reporting back. It's a wet Sunday afternoon - not really suitable to be out taking photos! Anyway, I labouriously installed one update after another (all 10 of them) with a System Restore between each one, and guess what? They are all installed & everything is AOK. B...ed if I know what went wrong last night - at least I recognised when enough was enough and didn't do something I might regret!:badpc: All :) s now! |

| 540956 | 2007-04-15 18:58:00 | Speedy . . . if I read the last post (above) correctly, they restored between every update . . . does that not remove the update itself to go back to a previously good working condition? Seems kinda like adding and deleting at the same time . UNLESS . . this person means that they GENERATE restore points every time . . . kinda silly, no? Don't restore points self-generate? I don't know . . as I don't use System Restore myself . . it's redundant and takes up too much space anyway with all that overhead . This is another good reason to get completely away from IE in ANY form . |

| 540957 | 2007-04-15 20:37:00 | Umm yup I think it would remove the updates (depending on when u installed the update/s and depending on how far back, you go, when u use system restore). Altho, I think RM means creating a restore point, not using system restore to go back. I'm pretty sure when u install an update, it creates a restore point anyway. You'll see it saying it, when u install the update. But you're right, SR is a waste of space. I spose I should kill it. |

| 540958 | 2007-04-16 01:38:00 | "I think RM means creating a restore point" - Yup I did! I was trying to eliminate which particular download (of the 10) was the potential problem (after all, I had Restored twice on Saturday) . And there was no problem at all! I am very happpy with the status quo . :) |
