That's good. MSE (and also previous MS security) every so often would seem to get mixed up about LMS updates and block the new version. It was always a good idea to go into MS security and clear out old versions in its "trusted" list. However as d6jg says - Win7 is old and insecure and should only be used with cautio. Lots of "new" Windows flaw/holes have been found and fixed in commercial Win7 (for those who paid for extra support) but not consumer Win7 - so the there are exploits and people ready to use them. Lock it down as much as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115005 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
