j-malotky Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I was replying to that XP thread in odds and mods and realized most of you probably do not get the Microslop security sheets. But there is a HUGE bug with Internet Explorer that was released on Tuesday. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-065.asp If you are running IE, you better get this patch.

Invidiosulus Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Thanks for the heads up on that one. I've got WinXP Pro so I should be ok, according to microsofts web site this security hole does not affect XP. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I never upgrade my OS until they come out with the next latest and greatest -- for that's about the time it takes to get the previous version running right. I'll run 2000 until everyone is bored with XP, then I'll consider XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted November 22, 2002 Author Share Posted November 22, 2002 Dean This is an Internet Explorer patch. If you are running IE on XP your OK. If your NOT running XP you need this patch ASAP. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 funny, i got a reminder from windows & updated right before i saw this yest. it downloaded a patch from here- http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp which is the page for windows updates (code IE updates) usually somewhere under your start menu. hope it was the right new one from ms.

JohnA Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I had IEsux completely removed from this machine until I installed Turbo Tax. Then, I just gave up. I don't use it, I use Mozilla, do I still need the patch? I don't trust MS and their patches. I don't have XP either, precisely because we have it at work and it is awful! We still get blue screens as often as with 95/98. Mine crashed 3 times in the first 2 hours I had it! It had been a rock steady PC under 98SE.

Audio Flynn Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 John, Nice Moustache and I agree with WIN 98 SE. I do not like MS stuff but what can you do. Becoming a billionare for selling bloated software that crashes? Such a deal for Billie and his henchmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Yes, I'm an idiot. I should have read the post more closely. Thanks for the heads up. If we had any sense we'd all be running linux. It may not be as intuitive, but it's certainly more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 actually as far as browsers i still like most & use netscape 4.79. but certain sites will only run on IE. or run best on IE. like if you want to use this "rich text" here on the klipsch forum. still i use netscape & obviously have no rich text.
