Totally agree. Plus it genuinely is better than IE7.

It is Sebby if I do use it it is superor to IE7 in everyway, and its making my box safer by just having it in place.

I've just had an update on Vista which was published today - something to do with non-compatiable programmes but I wasn't bothered enough to actually read any more of what it was for!

Sebby · Sep 01, 2009, 21:15:28

Maybe it was the compatibility thingy update for IE8?

Lance · Sep 01, 2009, 22:50:12

Nope, it was certainly vista specific and not ie8. I might look properly tomorrow!

Noreen · Sep 02, 2009, 11:03:43

I got it too. http://support.microsoft.com/KB/972036

Rik · Sep 02, 2009, 11:06:26

I didn't.

Sebby · Sep 02, 2009, 17:05:22

Have you secretly switched to Mac?

Rik · Sep 02, 2009, 17:07:24

Only in my heart.

Gary · Sep 03, 2009, 13:30:05

Perfectdisk updated to version 119

Rik · Sep 03, 2009, 13:30:24

There were problems with the original compatibility of legacy patch so this was just version 2

Thanks, Gary,

if you do windows update and things dont work after, if you know what i mean, can you un install the updates or will a simple system restore work.

Rik · Sep 03, 2009, 15:31:31

Either/or in most cases, Baz. Generally, there's a warning if you can't uninstall a patch.

Baz · Sep 03, 2009, 16:06:19

is there?? ive never seen one of those

shows how much notice I take

I was just wondering because I know that the wife and son will not have checked in a while on their laptops, both running vista.

Rik · Sep 03, 2009, 16:07:47

I suppose it depends how you do updates, Baz. I do them manually and check the descriptions before accepting them. If you're on auto-updates, you might not see that information.

Baz · Sep 03, 2009, 16:09:48

No I'm the same as you Rik manually but I just dont remember seeing any warnings

to be honest a lot of the descriptions just go over my head and I tend to install just the ones I think I need or that I know I have on my system.

Rik · Sep 03, 2009, 16:11:44

They don't write it large, Baz, there's just a sentence which says words to the effect that 'this patch cannot be uninstalled...'.
