I opened my computer this mornig to find it had been rebooted by Windows
Updater automatically installing updates...
I tried opening a link in Outlook and was prompted for Browers Information
....I was unable to find Inernet Explorer...
I had problems opening Internet Explorer at all..Or my other browser based
on Inernet Explorer...
I was forced to Restore to an earlier point...6/16/2005...
I tried finding out any other option and this posting was the only
information I could find.
I only wonder what problems I will have on continuing updates...
