My company is rolling out SP2 *holds head in hands* however they have created some links which might help explain things (from an MS viewpoint). The comments are, of course, my own. :)

Listen to my voice ... you want the download ... your life will become better ... thousands of doves will fly over you and unless you have SP2 they'll all s**t on you ... get it now ... you know you want to. |

your a nutter
*calm, soothing gentle English voice*
Just relax and think about all the benefits you'll have with SP2 ... think of that firewall protecting you and those you love from those nasty things out there on the Internet. Isn't that peace of mind something you want? Something you crave? Go on ... click the download button ... go on ... you want to I can tell.

*throws morning coffee at you*
:P
*ducks*
hmm ... if I'm ducking does that mean I can bite your a***?
;)
wait a week...or 2...ouchie
lol
Ok, I'm quite happy to wait a while with the prospect of a tasty bite in my mind's eye. ;)
lemme catchup on my coffee, then i'll know what to say next brat..lol
... I'll only bite gently ... and I'll kiss it better afterwards if you like.
I got a pop up a few weeks ago ... MSN has updated your IM, do you want to download the newer IM now?
And it didn't give me a no option.
And it was really, really persistant.
So I finally download the newest version of MSN IM.
And it doesn't work. It wont sign me in.
But! Lucky for me! The MSN IM pop up is still coming up! Do I want to download the newest version of MSN IM?
So, sure...lets over right it. something hickuped when downloading the first time.
And it doesn't work. It wont sign me in.
But! I'm sooooo lucky! I still get the MSN IM pop up! I CAN DOWNLOAD AGAIN!
No, what I"m going to do is removed MSN IM from my system, and leave the ganky email.
Two possible reasons I can think of
1. Does it need you to be logged in as an admin to do the update?
2. Do you need to uninstall the previous version before installing the newer one?

It wont sign me in.
Either way, or which ever way, I don't need MSN enough to need a manual to figure it out.
I'm happy with Yahoo., which doesn't give me troubles.
isnt that strange, same thing happened over here | |
