Will there be any new updates for IE 9 considering IE10 is out? Is there a place where I can find the update history of IE9? The build 9.0.8112.16421 was released 2011-03-14. Does this mean there there has been no updates in the past year or so? The reason I am asking this is that I downgraded IE from 9 to 8 because 9 causes BSOD frequently, but I still want to try IE9 to see if the problem is fixed when a new update is released. Any tip will be greatly appreciated. Hong Continue reading...

Hey, I am new to Moviemaker in my XP Media Center world. Circa 2005. Every, Single TIME I try to use it, it crashes within 5 minutes of trying to work with photos. I am not even using video. So far, just one song, and several photos. I tried to add some written titles, but that crashed it even worse. Why make a program that doesn't work???!!!!!! Seriously? I have 2T of hard drive. 6-core processor, brand new motherboard, and 8G of DDR3 ram....and Moviemaker...so far, appears to be useless. If it is just garbage, please tell me, and I will consider buying a real video editing program written by real, committed techs. My time is valuable too. Continue readin…

I have a machine running Windows XP. I want to install Windos 7 on it, but I don't need to upgrade the existing installation. The instructions on the back of a Windows 7 upgrade disk say that it is meant to upgrade Windows Vista. It then adds that if the mcahine has Windows XP on it, I must instead save all user files. programs, etc., and then do a clean installation of Windows 7. After that I can restore the files I saved. (I don't happen to want to do that.) I interpret this to mean that I can use the upgrade disk to do a fresh installation of Windows 7 on the machine given that there is a preexisting version of Windows, namely Windows XP. So I don't need a…

I got a phonecall by someone saying he represented Microsoft support... something and they offered me to cleanse my PC from very dangerous virus that they had found on mine and other customers´computers.They would also sell MS Essentials (which I did not have before) the price being 290 EUR for 3 years. Now when I read on your sight here that I can have it for free I feel very much afraid I have been cheated by people trying to sell copies of your software or/and even themselves being hackers? I actually had some problems some time before this telephone call. Of course I had other software for protection - which I was told was no good (Norton). The man who contacted me …

Have been asked to build a lab out of machines that previously were used to reverse-engineer malware. No matter how hard I argue, I can't get authority to connect these machines to the Internet after formatting all partitions of the HD and installing Win7. Going to have to build this on an isolated LAN. Software for the lab environment needs latest SP and .Net updates to install. So...how do I obtain all of the updates issued after SP1, and how do I know which order to apply them? I know I'm not the first to have to build an isolated environment and keep it updated. Has to be a standard answer for this somewhere. Dave Continue reading...
