Question on an update

Topic

New Reply

I have two operating systems; Windows 7 and XP. In Susan’s patch newsletter I saw no reference to the following and was wondering if anyone (or Susan) has an opinion on these patches.

Windows 7 – KB2813347
Windows XP – KB2813345

They are both parts of KB2828223 which Susan said should be installed as soon as possible.

Many thanks, Bruce. I’ve also been trying to figure out what to do with this update. For future information, how did you find out that KB2813347 is part of KB2828223?

If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.

Remote Desktop?
And why would anyone not just turn “Remote Desktop” OFF?
I did!

Then I just turned off all updates for XP, since XP updates have been causing all sorts of hate and discontent around the world.
