Hello,
Glad it worked out OK.
With regard to updates from microsoft...None of my machines have auto
update enabled for any of the software including third party progs.... With
Critical updates I have almost always allowed them to go ahead. The one
that I blocked recently was where MS wanted to install a virus removal
tool, that's an absolute NO NO. A friend went ahead and allowed it on and
he then started to get an annoying message every time he turns his machine
on from Symantec software that some program has hijacked some of the
registry settings it then proceeds to restore them. The presumption from MS
that its OK to change settings for other programs and therefore disabling
them is real bad.....I had info on all of those registry settings and tried
to fix it for him....in the end it was safer/better to re-install all of XP
and turn off the auto update and block the virus removal tool from MS
