I'm testing this and it seems that if you let it do it's thing for a while after the first boot it will not lock up. I tried twice to use the computer after the reboot and got the One call lock up. The third time I just let it do it's thing, just left the computer for an hour or so and everything is fine now. They are working on the back ground stuff at the first boot, right now its priority is a little haywire, grabs too much CPU time at first.

Would lock up and not run. ( the program, not the puter ) wish it was a download so I could try it again after uninstall or on another test box without the mother may I routine, but I will anyway for grins. <:-| I uninstalled Norton Corp b4 but I wonder if that had some affect on this. MS should concentrate on keeping windows stable and cheap and stay out of the rest of it IMO Would be nice for customer boxes if it works out. fp At 08:15 PM 1/3/2006, Chris Reeves Poked the stick with: >Microsoft's opinion on this to beta testers and onecare users: > >January 3, 2006 Advisory: How to know if you are protected from the WMF >vulnerability A security vulnerability in Windows could allow malicious >software to infect your computer when opening an infected graphic or a >malicious Web site. >Microsoft is working on a patch, but Windows OneCare is protecting you >now from known viruses using this flaw.
