    New Windows Updates available

    Go get 'em while they're hot.

    Included this time is one of MS's most bizarre updates of all time, the GDI+ update. It will pop up a dialog which takes you to a web page where you can check for updates to MS Office and any affected imaging apps. If you restart the PC as it asks you to before you do the checks on the webpage, you will never get that page back again, so I advise doing the other updates to Office, etc, before restarting the PC.
    Nick.

    I have the Auto-Update enabled. All I did was d/l and install - no other windows popped up. Not even a restart.
    Curious ?!?!?!?
    Nimo N152B (AMD R5, W11H) and plenty of other legacy systems :-)

    Probably related to the new bug found in XP http://www.news.com.au/common/story_...E15306,00.html

    I think it was the Service Pack 1 for .NET Framework that wanted the restart.
