Re: Cannot recieve windows updates.



good evening all,

I thought I read a a recommended alarm clock that rests in the "notification
area"--but I can no longer find the post. I don't need much, possibly one
primary alarm with a secondary alarm that can be set (although this is less
important). I *believe it may have recommended by an MVP. Any takers?

Many TIA,

--
