    amazing:mad:

    it took my computer 3 days to recover from that update,yesterday i was really considering a full reinstall.
    Symptoms were, pages would not change over ,clicking on items would leave "ghost image" I certainly could not surf.
    the upgrade restarted computer several times to install.


    and today she's puffin along like nothing happened:confused:

    Isn't it possible to configure updates in control panel so that you can do it at your convenience?
