This ME Problem has me worried.

I installed the patch when it came out and haven't experienced any ill effects so far. I rely on restore, so I would be lost if it stopped working. Only time will tell if it will cause problems in the future. Maybe I'll know tomorrow!
I was under the impression that this fix was intended for all ME users, unless you had restore disabled and never intended to use it.
Hope this helps,
Ed

Hi Ed,

When did this patch come out? I haven't heard of this problem before, and the patch has never shown up when I run Windows Update. Please tell me where I can find it and download it, as I rely on System Restore (for a sound night's sleep !)

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks Denny. I'm embarrassed to say I *did* already have it installed, just forgot (Lutefiske deficiency in my diet, no doubt).

While we're on the subject of updates, though, what do you make of ZDnet's website "updates.cnet.com"? I've run it occasionally, and it always tells me (after scanning my PC) to update things I know I don't even have installed, like ethernet cards, and high-end sound cards, etc. If it's reading my system, wouldn't it know what I have, and don't have?

Uff Da right at ya,

Richard
