I havent actually laid eyes on it. He just told me that he was going to shut down the computer the other night and it prompted him to install a bunch of updates, so he let it and went to bed, and when he started it up the next day, it was asking for the install media for WordPerfect, Sonic, and other apps that were already installed... not to mention Windows couldn't find the wireless signal. *shrug* I'll mention IE9 (didn't think it was available on XP... *shrug*) From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 8:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Windows Update problem Did his recent updates include IE9?

He says that after some recent Windows updates it asks him to reinstall a whole bunch of apps including WordPerfect. Also he says his wireless isn't working. Machine is running Windows XP. Anyone seen this and got any suggestions other than reinstalling the apps? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
