Wouldnt hurt to update would it although as long as your firewall is correctly configured then go crack a beer.:smokin:

Problem is, if you're being hit, you can't stay online long enough to get the patch :D

Already there m8:D
....btw....how do I know if I need the 32 or 64 bit win xp edition?:confused:

Are you running a 64bit version of XP on a 64bit CPU?
Not likely :P

lol....well i did pass your comment on ages go...but its still there :(

erm.....so what you are saying is I need is the 32 bit version:confused:

Anybody know if there are any issues with win98 and this threat, good old MS haven't identified it in either the affected or non-affected categories though my guess would be non-affected if me isn't.

I've not seen any probs on my pc but my connection did go out for a few hours earlier :shrug:

Is it just me???
 

My web browsing is really slow tonight, I'm not running anything else in the background. Its strange 'cos downloading speed is fine, its just the WWW

Could it be my proxy misbehaving?:( :shrug:

doubt it i got the same and i'm on dial up

There is no 64_bit version of XP, just some extended libs that allow it to be run on an Itanium or Opteron processor. Currently the only real 64_bit OS is any one of the unicies, including Linux.

Incidently, anyone got a version of XP SP1 which will install on a not so legit version of XP Pro? ;)

Fine for me...
