Not in a good mood (again) - and seemingly always put this way by
Microsoft.
They used to run rampage with my machine with automatic updates - so disabled that and made it ask me first.
Got notification today that 8 fixes were issued yesterday. Majority were security fixes for vista x64 and a couple for Outlook.
Okay - all makes sense, go with that.
"You computer requires a restart."
Second monitor totally disabled, screen resolution to set to absolute minimum, screen icons set to humongous, "maximised" window settings changed to "normal".
Managed to fix all but the loss of the second monitor - can't find anything, anywhere, that gets me to the nVidia control panel and the check boxes I have (had?) for re-enabling the second monitor.
I'm not good enough with these
things to consider swapping to a different OS. I'm one of MS's trapped victims.
Usual guru that helps via remote assistance (GoToMyPC) has gone dark as he is busy at work (OK for some).
