IE 6

I can't figure it out. Whenever I right click to open up a new window (off of a link), the window opens, but the link doesn't appear (this, I have to do manually).

I've been over everything a million and one times, and can't firgure this out...Is it a glitch?

"Tools", "Internet Options", "Advanced". Under "Browsing" be sure the "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" box is checked. Other than that, I don't know.

Yeah, sounds like a glitch. Give the monkeys at Microsoft a few months and they'll come up with a patch... of course, it'll probably end up disabling some other important feature...

Which is why I'm leaning towards PS2 instead of XBox

No problem for me. Might as well get all the updates you can from Microsoft and/or look through their knowledge base.

While we're on the subject of buggy MS products...

I do a "windows update" and it takes me to a page that has a bunch of updates. I select one and it says it has to be installed exclusive of other update. Does this mean that I can't install all three "critical" updates? WTF is that? I swear to god I can't understand this shit. No matter how many times I install "critical" updates, I've always got two more to install. Lame.

MS = Monopoly = Bad for consumers. It's pretty simple.

It only means you have to install the updates one at a time. The only reason I keep up with it like I do is because every PC I use is not on dial-up.

 

[Superfluous_Nut]

That's what I thought, but I could swear I've updated like 5 or 6 times and there's still two more to get.

here are the two updates I currently "need":


Critical Updates Package
2361 KB/ Download Time: < 1 min


Critical Updates offered below must be installed exclusive of any other items. For this reason, they are not included in the Critical Updates Package.

Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package, January, 2002
481 KB/ Download Time: < 1 min


I'll get the first, then the 2nd, then come back and tell you what I still "need".

Eventually it will tell you that you don't need anymore.
