That sucks. If your machine is still set to pull updates from M$ automatically it's going to do it again. I found during the course of my most recent job that Earthlink's Protection Control Center had some conflicts with IE7. Our solution was to uninstall IE7 or uninstall PCC. Either worked. Considering this conflict did not occur with IE6, Firefox, Opera, Lynx, or any other browser ever made by anyone anywhere, it's safe to assume that M$ broke something. Based on M$'s history of bullying and shoddy, over-bloated crapware, this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. If you're having problems with IE7 try disabling anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall software, etc. until you figure out where the conflict is. Then you can make a decision about which to remove permanently.
The only reason I currently have XP installed is because I made some poor hardware choices. Linux/BSD doesn't quite support all the features of my printer. They don't support the scanner at all. I'll limp XP along until M$ stops supporting it. At that point I'll either buy a new printer and scanner, or get a Mac, or both. Either way, Linux or OSX, I'm on my last DOS installation. I'll stop ranting now. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
