Why can't an improvement be a improvement? :unsure: Link (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1093&e=3&cid=1093&u=/pcworld/20030422/tc_pcworld/110385)

Whats said is I did as well and wound up telling the CSR how to fix the problem :rofl:

Figures I just decided to download all their fixes last week including this one. At least it&#39;s easy to uninstall these patches.

I have had no problems but I don&#39;t trust the.
How do I uninstall?

[SALvation]

Just go to add/remove programs and the patch is listed. I didn&#39;t think it hurt my system at all either until I uninstalled it. Then I realized my applications went from taking 5-6 seconds to open to 1-2 seconds.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Strange that you are right Sal.
I never noticed.
Thanks for the info.

:thumbs: To to hear from someone who has first hand experience, and someone we all know&#33;

Someday, maybe someone will develop a OS that is gamer friendly :WTF:

I&#39;ve decided that if in ain&#39;t broke don&#39;t fix it.....I don&#39;t install windows patches anymore....For every one thing they fix, 2 things get broken.

I think I downloaded that update also, I&#39;ll have to check when I get home. Aren&#39;t some of those patches blocked from un-installing??

Yep, I sure have, but I was on my second day off, so I didn&#39;t have time to complete the call&#33; HP cust service has been decent, but they inherited some of Compaq&#39;s suckiness when they merged, I feel. The WORST I&#39;ve ever done is Visioneeer - even after explaining the whole problem (shizz no worky) and that I&#39;d installed 30 of that unit in the last month, and that known good ones work on the system, but this one didn&#39;t, and that other systems with known good ones wouldn&#39;t run this piece, they still asked more questions, almost down to my shoe size. The guys in the shop considered the call part of my &#39;earning my spurs&#39; or some such BS. The Visioneer rep was still unconvinced, and didn&#39;t want to take my suggestion of us sending it in at our expense so they could test it themselves. They had a few more questions to ask. My buddies busted when I answered, "Uh, to the left", as though they had gotten REALLY personal about the questions. :rofl:
