Gary & Rik

Thanks for the info. I am in your hands entirely here. I followed the link and clicked on 'Fix It' ( I'm on FF) and it all went through without a hitch, was I lucky or have I missed something? Hopefully not

[Rik]

I think you were lucky, Q, it seems to have been a bit hit and miss with the server, but if you got no error, you should be fine.

I chose the 'work around' option, is that the correct choice?

[Rik]

Enable workaround/Fix it? It is.

Much obliged

[Rik]

NP.

[Gary]

Thanks, Gary. Where do I download the Mac version?

I dont know, but I don't need the fix Sebby  Think I'll slide a blu-ray film in my Laptops drive and have some light entertainment this morning

I've got this update trying to install under Windows update this morning only snag is the download size is 0kb and it just keeps popping up as an update is ready to install. I click on install and it says it's installed successfully, then comes up as available again. 

[Ray]

Looks like the problem is with Windows update looking at my update history this update has been successfully installed and yet it is still been offered as available. 

[Rik]

It's probably because it's outside the normal schedule, Ray.

Could be, Rik, the only way I could get rid of the notification was by checking the 'don't notify me about this update again' box.

I usually use the "I'm not listening" box, Ray.

you could undo the reg fix and download the update
