How can I write this as I am confused myself. Windows update website.
MS for Windows has a 11/15/2002 NEW installer program. I think it is a PROBLEM.
I had the firewall block legit Word/Works updates as I could not get them out of the Start Up. That had prevented WINDOWS updates (???) so I allowed them.
Updated Duron before I quit that one by the start of the month.
Athlon XP had been updated but loaded a S/W pgm and that blew where files for WinMe on boot up could not find maybe 7 WINDOWS files. That was CRITICAL. I think DirectX 8 files.
Last night just got about 7 meg legit WinMe updates of small files. Computer was AOK till later today. Booted with the BLACK screen of start mode to choose. Chose NORMAL. I have not installed ANYTHING since Windows updates. I did run WinRAR.
Scan disk found about 45 meg lost and critical boot files a mess.
I think MS has reached a point of no return PATCHING Windows plus adding their new security stuff. It seems to be that new 11/15 installer. Maybe installing at specific ADDRESSES as if an empty HD.
I am going nuts but see the new update program can be the problem as after problems started.
I have MS legit stuff so there should be NO problems.
Add to that my ISP giving me 31K speed now. They can be overloaded but same lines if more people are going to the cheaper carriers. CAN be gov't stuff.
Some kind of major transition and I am being caught with it. Scanned for everything from viruses to pests.
98% of MS updates are for IE. Maybe another browser will do.
I am like most, Windows is the full OS. Maybe OS then all others as ADD ONS. Like DOS programs brought in the graphics.
Can be MS is trying to feed itself too much and put the tube UP the wrong end.
This is like an OLD huge DOS program I used. They kept adding and never changed the original and to the point config.sys and bat files were needed for instructions. That got to computer system SPECIFIC commands.
