I read on another message board to do the following so Microsoft will never update without your permission again. I went to Start, My Computer, C:\Windows\System 32 and looked for verclsid.exe and changed the file extension from .exe to .old. I also Removed the three latest updates (one for Internet Explorer 7 (KB944533) and two for Windows XP (KB946026 and KB943055). So far I have absolutely no problems other than when going to one website with my Avant browser I got an "Internet Explorer Script Error" message but didn't see anything wrong with the web page. I'll wait a few days and one at a time I'll install back the two Windows XP security updates and see if they cause any problems. Besides knowing what exteme problems one or more of these latest updates has caused, I am guessing it's the same reason why my Google Earth won't load and why I can't watch large Utube videos I downloaded and was once able to watch. About 6 months ago Microsoft updates installed something that hogs or hinders my very large memory. I'll never be able to figure that out.
