Security Update Cd Expires. Keep Your files backed up.
Security Update Cd Expires. Keep Your files backed up.
I was doing a clean install of an os and found this out. You can still use those files on the cd, If you can figure out what goes with you operating system. Yes, I know xp has sp2 now. However, Some computer cant run xp sp2. Greg R |

Greg why are you telling us this in Win2000? Are you sayuing that we =
can expect the Windows 2000 Security Update CD-ROMs for Windows 2000 can expire? And what exactly = does that mean? The files for installation on those CD-ROMs as far as I know have nothing to do = with expiration. They are just hotfix installers and I've never heard of hotfix installers expiring. Heard of = hotfix passwords expiring but never the installation files themselves. --=20 George Hester _________________________________ "Greg R" wrote in message = ... Security Update Cd Expires.

When you run the CD, the files your machine needs, whatever the OS, are identified and offered for installation. Yes, I know xp has sp2 now. However, Some computer cant run xp sp2.

What's that got to do with this topic? Mine told me the same thing, Thats just the control front page. You can still navigate the CD under explorer. Also disable autoplay before running, and install the updates from Run. -- Lester Stiefel In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed which describe him in the last days.

If you're thinking,
"almost bob, *you're* the idiot with the enormous signature", you would be right. Big of you to not say that though. But hysterical to post it to the Win ME group where I'm reading this just today having clean installed ME then used the Security Update CD with no problem whatsoever. Personally I do not believe the CD was programmed to *expire* in W2k and/or XP but not 9x. If he had a beta, eg RC1 then, yes, it probably would expire and in 9x too. Shane |
