Windows down load
There was a windows update downloaded over night, but when my laptop restarted to finish installation this morning it would go past the welcome screen. I eventually started it up in safe mode and turned it back to prior the update, started first time, anybody else had the same problem

Re: Windows down load
sorry Retlaw, that is REALLY a silly thing to do.
when it gets to teh point that both Germany and France issue a national warning to not use Internet explorer due to security issues with it then I'm afraid if you really MUST use Windows then you need every single sodding patch they issue to try and keep you safe.
