It seems to me, as the day has progressed and I read more
and more problems about this on here, that it might be
better for MS to patch their SP3 patch instead of
expecting everyone one else to put out an update to work
with this poor excuse for an update. People have been
advised to "re-code" Outlook to get around the access
problems that are now cropping up due to this "patch",
turn off Word as their e-mail editor, notify other
companies to do fixes to fix this mess and things that
the general user shouldn't have to do. Things were
working fine until Bill decided it was up to him to
protect America. Security is great, don't get me wrong,
I employ as many security features as possible but I also
know that I had a system that was working fine until I
installed this Service Pack. Now all I have is Outlook
that locks up all the time because of using Norton
Internet Security and a PalmPilot that won't sync because
the powers that be have decided that they need to protect
me from my own equipment. As I've said earlier, I've
used Microsoft products for over 23 years, upgraded,
patched, applied fixes, service packs, you name it, and
I've never had one that messed with my system like this.
Shame on Microsoft.
