So you want me to check your web pages like I attempted for Brian? Or just
some specific pages,,
How extensive do you want, general or the full monty?

at
| Windows Updates. Only the Custom option. Seems real stupid to me, but the
| logic MS uses to handle Updates often escapes me. Like making IE7 a
| Recommended Update, but then having Automatic Updates install it. Dumb,
| dumb, dumb!

No, actually that fits right into plan, IE7 is the crossover browser, best
to install it via Automatic updates in XP for the GP. Get them thinking
VISTA... if da browser is so neetoe, den tink wat da new OS is, boy howdy...

| PLEASE!! If you're not reasonably adept at using Windows, backing up
| Registries, restoring same, etc., DON'T try these Unofficial Updates until
| others have proven them out.
