Actually, I suspect that it was a MS screw up for folk with later versions of WinXP....
I wasn't able to install the upgrade in my second computer until this evening. Presumably Bill has now sorted out his f*ck up?
As for so-called 'iffy' software - if I ever find anyone trying to sell it or use it I will shop them immediately. Because all these thieving barstewards are doing is making things unreasonably difficult and costly for honest users.
And yes, hackers and other thieves should go into the same boiling pit of their own excreta as drug dealers and other filth.....
