Hi Rob. I updated a computer that hadn't been updated for 2 years. It's a
Sony Vaio laptop, and WGA installed a couple of years ago then
reported the software as fake. I was furious! I gather Sony & MS
don't always play nice together.

To be honest, WGA is fraught with problems and this was probably an honest
mistake on the part of the MS software, rather than anything else!

I installed Shavlik's updating system on it and spent a dozen hours
downloading and installing updates and service packs. Upon first
connecting to Shavlik, Shavlik downloaded and installed dot.net. Fine.
One of the updates was for asp.net. Since then, it's been set
to automatic, and the logon has appeared on the Welcome screen.

I do not run a server, but at school, I connect to the network via
wireless. I would like to eventually network my three computers here
at home.
I think Shavlik is the only application that currentlly neets
dot.net. I don't know of anything that needs asp.net.

Does that help you to help me?

Yup. You should be fine to switch the service to manual. If the Shavlik
software complains turn it back to automatic. Don't disable it - any well
behaved software that wants a service should be able to start it up if it
needs it when the service is set to manual, so this is a good compromise
between not wanting too much stuff running at once and the need to have
things like this working when needed.

More and more things are going to require .net frameworks, so you may find
it getting more updates and more use over time.
