You'd think MS would like a customer. I'm glad you're system is working better now. Although SP2 is by no means a guarantee, it is supported and you need to be able to have the newest if you can get it.
Good luck.
Hope it all works out for you.
I wonder if you can get a second license for that other CD which your brother owns so you can use it as well.
Can I swear? I'm trying to follow your last link, to learn about security, and I get the error message I used to get. (Please tell me the link is broken....)
It can be frustrating.
The link works.
Let's see if renaming your hosts file does anything.
Go to
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Open the etc folder.
Look for a file named hosts
No file extension. Just plain hosts.
Right click on hosts and click rename on the menu.
rename hosts as ghosts.
Close Internet Explorer.
Reopen Internet Explorer and see if the link works now.
OK, it's working now. My usual problem is a get a server error message in IE, can't load the page. But if I click "go" a second time, then the pages load. I think I need to surf for a bit, and then I'll come back to you. You are being very helpful. Thanks so much.
What is the application "Registry Mechanic" for?
Registry Mechanic is a registry cleaner. It is not a free application though.
OK, was just curious.
So far, so good, BTW!!!
Thanks Mo, for your time and patience.
As the problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived.
If you need it re-opened please send me a pm and provide a link to the thread.
Glad we could help, thank you Mosaic1
