XP Service Pack Problems

[Moe]

For the first time I downloaded and installed a Windows
Update. It happened to be the XP Service Pack.

That was less than 24 hours ago. So far the results have
been: (a) My Acrobat5.0 refused to open, and I had to
reinstall it; (b) my Outlook Express started removing
every attachment I received, giving me the message that
it had removed an "unsafe attachment," which is clearly
fallacious.

I am unaware of any benefit I have received as a result
of the installation of the Service Pack. At the moment,
I am just waiting to discover what other problems it has
caused.

Can someone tell me how to keep my OE attachments. I
have my security settings on Medium.

Thank you.

Moe,

There's a Security tab on the Options window with an attachments checkbox.

You don't get to tell Express what a "dangerous attachment" is, of course
<wink>

As well as the Service Pack, you should install all the Critical
Updated.
Some of the benefits may not be apparent however if the exploit of
some of the updates is utilized, you may fee the absence of the patch.

The recent Blaster worm would have been a non event if everyone had
patched their computer or used a firewall.

Thanks. That works.
