Was it good for you and Windoze?


I still don't know what happened.

I just downloaded all the recent updates for Win XP Pro. After it
finished, I tried to post to rec.boats via OE and I got an error window
saying something is all screwed up. Tried again, same thing. Tried
using Thunderbird and it works fine.

Seriously thinking of going back to the old telephone .....

Was it good for you? The way to tell is if your computer smoked a
cigarette afterwards.

Check the account tab under tools, or pickup on the newserver under
accounts - it sounds like the two don't match.

I'll tell you, there are days when that becomes a distinct
possibility.

Did you just download them, or did you "install" them, too, via MS's
auot install facility?

If the latter, you usually have to reboot...

Good point.

I was going to make a smart ass comment, but decided not to.

Impressive huh? :)

I'm still waiting to hear about those rods you build.

Nothing special - custom made spaciality rods- everything from 5 foot
fly rods to 12 foot trolling rods and lots of repair rods in between.

I do about 30 or so new rods per year - replacement rods, special
rods, my own rods which I have a tendency to give away to kids and
what not.

Ready to smoke something ... I don't know what happened, but really
don't give a s... either.

OE just won't work. No big loss.

What is strange is that I got a notice of some updates .... which, as a
good Windows soldier, I downloaded and installed. Next, Windows
suggested that I should download Service Pack 2 for XP Pro... which I
already did last spring. I said "ok" anyway, figuring it can't hurt,
but......

nooooooooooooooo.......

My faithful computer is now infected with a Windows update.

I'll figure it out sometime when I give a ****.

Did you perhaps install a firewall and now must give OE permission to
access the internet?
