I've been neglecting my mum's PC. Tried doing a Windows Update on her main PC but it wouldn't run. Something very odd had happened to all the certificates - whole lot had vanished. Poof. She's a fiddler - you know the sort of user I mean. Can't wait til the expert gets there - has to have a go herself. Can she remember what she did? Can she hell. Anyways, I had to install IE 6, then do an update. All this on dial-up. Ended up walking half the way home. Paled a bit when I discovered the firewall (Zone Alarm) was ancient, so that's down for upgrade, though not to version 5. Gonna install a few other bits and pieces, then tackle the laptop. It's Windows ME. Anything could happen.
