Re: Getting out of Hand! If you download Microsoft Media Player 7.1 & read the EUL carefully you find this:
"*Digital Rights Management (Security). You agree that in order to protect the integrity of content and software protected by digital rights management ("Secure Content"), Microsoft may provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be automatically downloaded onto your computer. These security related updates may disable your ability to copy and/or play Secure Content and use other software on your computer. If we provide such a security update, we will use reasonable efforts to post notices on a web site explaining the update."
In other words, you agree to let Microsoft download software that can disable things on your computer. It doesn't matter that they will make a effort to tell you about it. All you know is now something doesn't work & you had no say in the matter. It was done "automatically" |

| You can disable this option. Every version of Windows can disable auto updates. If you cant find it. Go do the registry.
