let me be the first to say that your latest updates to
XP has disabled my drivers to my DVD Rom and my DVD burner
and god knows what else to my computer.
Thank you
for another
disaponting product.
Doubtful..
Unless you uninstalled the updates and the drives came back, it could be
something else.
What did happen when you uninstalled the updates? You did write down which
updates you were installing, right?
