"MikeC" presented what they had done and I pointed out that beyond the small
blurb about having uninstalled/reinstalled, we knew very little about the
specific predicament. "Still No Joy" tells me very little and "MikeC" has
not posted elsewhere in this thread that I see to know exactly what they are
seeing.
I then proceded to inquire if there was an error... Anything in the Event
Log... Or was the update just repeating over and over. I also asked
specifically how the update was aquired and attempted to be installed.
That's this off-shoot of the thread...
In another part of this thread I tried to point out that not having a backup
plan for your computer is not wise in ANY case - and that this sort of thing
is pretty much a fine example of why it is wise to backup your
computer/files. I even pointed out that backing up did not have to be
complicated by any means.. simply burning a CD/DVD or copying files from one
drive to another could be a backup - if you are doing it periodically and to
the stuff that is actually important to you.
I even tried to simplify (and pull out the excessive material) from the
original post. It seems the email had too many "what ifs" in it to be
easily understood and followed to me - so I thought I might try and assist
and pull out those "what ifs" and just leave the actual steps and explain -
in one sentence - what the solution was actually doing.
I'm sorry if all that seems to make me a pedant in your eyes or if my
repeating (the formatting never seemed to work and I am sorry I posted it
three times without a positive result in that manner) presents my responses
as shrill to you... But they are meant to be helpful.
After all - what's the point of going through something like this and not
even getting any knowledge out of it to help avoid it (or recover more
quickly at the very least) in the future...? And yes - if history (and the
archives of these newsgroups) shows us anything - it is that it *will* be
repeated.
