My life lately

The last few weeks have been busy and ironic.
My IE7 was not working, so I would update my computer only to have the update not work [IE8], but freeze up instead. My computer self repaired itself by back dating itself. So, I had to "un-install" IE8. I am staying with IE7 until they get all the bugs out of IE8. Then my Norton froze up on me. I contacted Symantecs [Norton] and they sent me the link to upgrade that from N360.v2 to N360.v3, which works great. Then Microsoft send me a very large update [over 600mb] for my Vista Home Premium, SP2. This repaired the problem I was having with my internet explorer in the first place, lol. So after, installing, un-installing, uploading, re-loading, downloading, and re-installing, everything works great now. I even get to use my computer, not just work on it.

Internet Explorer 8- WARNING

WARNING. If you use Norton 360 to protect your computer, DO NOT install IE8 [Internet explorer 8]. The two do not get along. When I downloaded the new IE8 on my computer last night, it shut down my Norton 360! I had to go back to Microsoft.com and use their un-installer and then work for over an hour to get my Norton working. I used the Norton help section. It had me reset my computer to run Norton automatically, then restart my computer. Then I had to "check for updates". The updates took almost an hour, then restart my computer again.
Thank God it worked!
