No. It's driving me crazy. i can't run it. I can't uninstall it. I am
getting ready to erase the whole thing from the registry, erase it from
disk. See what happens and install it again.

john it appears that windows are sending 2006 beta update version as an
automatic update my updates which were done auto daily were ok up to
23-1-2008, then they changed to this obsolete beta rubbish.
microsoft should give us a software patch to fix the problem they created,
what do you say?
