Hi, You are right. If you don't install GA, it is foolish, as Microsoft update uses it to get the latest updates.

I run windows and have the wga in stalled and all it does is varifies that windows is genuine and allows you to get downloads that need varifaction. This helps you cause when you varify your copy of windows this means you can be asured that you will be getting the best that microsoft will offer.

I'm going to get rid of all my scripts, and start fresh, after I make sure my computer is working fine without scripts, then I'll re-install the scripts one by one, starting with the GW ToolKit. I don't have time to do this right now. I ended up rebooting my computer twice this morning, and I sent two error messages to GW Micro. Someone told me I had to install the System Genuine Advantage, and that is not true. I'm not letting Microsoft have the knowledge of everything that is on my computer. Thanks a bunch.
