Something updated on my desktop, (probably a browser update, actually),
without telling me and broke flash player. Which kept hanging every
installed browser. A reinstall of Flash player, and several reboots
later, (and a second reinstall, then a third after the second failed
mysteriously), and everything is working again. Damn I miss the days
when I could understand pretty much everything the box on my desk was
doing.

As a side note, even though I'm running WinXP on this box for
compatibility with a bunch of old software and hardware some of which
simply cannot be replaced, and Microsoft has officially long ago ended
support, I /still/ get OS updates from Microsoft occasionally.
I think Micro$oft may be still putting out a few security patches for XP.
For anything that has updates, I try to set the program up so that it
alerts me when a new update is available & allow me to decide whether to
install it.
Especially Windoze update wanting to install 37 language packs that I
don't need.
Come to think of it though, I haven't seen updates for Windoze7 for a while.
