Are you now Queen of England or something? :D :uhh:

What browser are you using and what version? Anyone using Fx 1.5 or 2, but not 3 beta because it will be compliant at release and may be with the current beta, is subject to the problems. (The last beta I tried was not compliant) but that was beta 3. Those using Fx 1.5 and 2 get the black page sometimes especially when being offered the trial of Silverlight (which I was offered 5 times yesterday but not once today...the problems are not there constantly as far as Silverlight goes). Fx has been targeted for a long time now for popups asking the user to download a trial of Silverlight and the reason may be because Microsoft knows Fx is not currently compliant and wants to rub that in users faces so they might decide to use IE instead. :p Mozillazine forums advised Fx users to try and not go to Microsoft until Fx 3 is released.

What "gigantic horizontal scrollbar" on KB MS08-024? Fx 2.0.0.13:

...

MS site/Technet works fine, I see no "partially visible, popup" on any of their pages, nor any "black" pages.

May we suggest yet again: it's *your* settings causing these things?

Yep, same here.
Mine displays just fine.
Lets not forget though, that mele has her own rather "unique" setup.
If only these damn developers could somehow conform to this unique setup, I imagine we might see a brand new, happy (and always smiling), mele.

Ya think? :p ;)

Today Microsoft released the following Security Bulletin(s).

As always, download the updates only from the vendors website - visit Windows Update and Office Update or Microsoft Update websites. You may also get the updates thru Automatic Updates functionality in Windows system.

You left out the best place to download the patches:
»www.microsoft.com/downloads

I wish Microsoft would stop turning pages black and sticking a poorly designed, only partially visible, popup on many of their pages now. Drives me nuts. Firefox 1.5 and 2 are NOT able to do Silverlight. But Microsoft constantly tries to get me to do the beta. "No thanks" appears to mean "ask me repeatedly and maybe I will give in out of frustration" to Microsoft. I think they are deliberately harassing Fx users. Fx will be compatible with the release of version 3 but I don't want Silverlight even then.

Does anyone use autoupdate and could confirm that the process is changed?
I noticed the update icon in the tray but decided to ignore it for now.
Then suddenly some popup told me an update had been installed and did I want to restart or not with a countdown of 4(?) minutes starting (I do hope that this was from the windows update :)). Then after reboot, the installation went through and another "normal" reboot. Subsequent to this a little "shield" appeared in the tray telling me an important windows update had been done. Eventually this message and the shield vanished. I have never seen that shield before.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20304527 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:11:46 EDT Re: Microsoft Security Bulletin(s) for April 8 2008 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20303854 norwegian : Thanks Nick

If there is one thing I can always count on, it's the "patch Tuesday" thread in the security Forum.

Six "Critical" Updates here (XP Pro, SP2), and all seems well. :)
