771 updates??
Good grief, Keef, nearly 800 update items? That seems crazy.....
My new Dell arrived last week; due to Dell using non-updated pre-installed programs, I've had 73 updates in a week. That seemed acceptable enough, given the reason.
Norton severely snarled up my last Dell, now used as back up. But when I asked them for help, they cleared all previous Norton files (hundreds of slu tmp files) and gave me Norton 2010 free of charge. That changed my available C-drive memory from 200MB to 9GB....
Just checked Microsoft update on my 2 laptops and there are no new high priority Bill-bombs waiting to be downloaded under 'Express'.
