security updates

Lona:
A peculiar problem I had last night. I went to windows updates and downloaded a file for IE6 q323759.exe.
When I tried to install it, a message said I needed to have IE6 installed, which I have. I decided to uninstall IE6 and re-install it. After a great deal of problems I managed to re-install IE6. When I then tried to install the afore mentioned file, I still get the same answer. It appears that my system does not recognise that I have IE6 installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mustapha Phagg:
Don't trust Microsoft updates Lona, they are renowned for messing things up.

I still run IE5 with no problems and with no updates or security patches, no one has  hacked into me yet.

Aint got nothing worth looking at anyway. ;D ;D

Sandra:

You leave my robes out of this Sandra. :o :o

Funny, they say it's the men that have the dirty minds, wonder who you were in a former life? ;D ;D

Simon:
My suggestion would be to ignore the patch for now.  If there's a problem with it, MS will no doubt soon find out and fix it and issue another.

I haven't noticed the update myself, but XP does it automatically anyway.  Actually, that's a point - is the update for your OS?  Some of them are specifically for XP, and if you haven't got XP, it probably won't work!
