andsome Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 BACK AGAINEasy peasy. Thanks all for the tips. The black screens are a little scary. The reboot takes about as long as the installation. I have noticed the little red security shield at the bottom of the screen. All very painless. Time for breakfast now.CC. I clicked on Norton update, and it said that ALL updates are already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertec Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 So it's for Norton e-mail scanning I guess. I wasn't particularly bothered about it anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The symantec update is WMI...Windows Monitoring Interface [i think it's called].I also thinks it's not available to 2003 symantec software only to 2004.Don't worry all you missing out on is the Security centre not being able to tell you the status of NAV, only that it is installed.

trackrat Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 When i open E-Mails in OE I get a bar saying ( some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender identifying your computer, click here to download pictures ).Is this anything to do with the SP2 Pop up blocker.Has anyone else experienced this?.

christmascracker Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 In OE, tools/options/security untick "block images and other external content in HTML email" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks for that CC also the block attachments etc had a tick in it so your post solved 2 problems in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I've turned off the SP2 pop up blocker and turned Google Bar pop up blocker back on. I prefer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christmascracker Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I've turned off the SP2 pop up blocker and turned Google Bar pop up blocker back on. I prefer it.I must admit I think the SP2 blocker is quite good. It blocks things that the google toolbar doesn't. Just a shame I don't use IE very often :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I've turned off the SP2 pop up blocker and turned Google Bar pop up blocker back on. I prefer it.I must admit I think the SP2 blocker is quite good. It blocks things that the google toolbar doesn't. Just a shame I don't use IE very often :( I just got fed up with the annoying window that came up each time a pop up was blocked.By the way, I don't know if it's my imagination, but the computer appears to be running better than ever since SP2 was installed. Has anyone else got this impression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdo...47e24208bde.exeYou don't need to download the full network executable with this. The installer is 1.6MB [1.6MB] and will scan your computer to see what you need to have to be updated the SP2. What you don't need will not be downloaded. So the amount of MB will vary as well as download times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All went without a hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
