MS releasing a flawed patch...
NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING .. HA, HA
Seriously; I recently had a strange go around with MS patches. I too keep them all up to date, but here is what happened to me last month...
* Outlook suddenly started taking up to one minute to load. It used to load very fast; in a few seconds.
* This would only happen after a boot up of the computer. Succeeding Outlook loads were normal & very fast. This would happen after every boot up of Win XP; the first one would be very slow & all others normal.
* I could find nothing on Google, or the MS Knowledge base on this problem.
* Then MS released SP3 for Office XP. After installing it, the slow Outlook loading after boot up was gone.
Seems that one of the patches for Win XP caused the problem with Outlook XP & the SP3 patch for Office XP fixed it.
Kind of makes me nervous about patches.
Couple this with the onslaught of SPAM, Viruses, browser hijackings & misdirecting, & all the other c**p that is being thrown at us on a daily basis & again it makes me very nervous. I fell like I am under attack by an unknown enemy who has no conscience of any kind & could not care less.
What ever happened to computers being fun to use ?
