  1. If you're giving your PC to someone you know and trust, no biggie. If you're giving it to a complete stranger, uh, I wouldn't.

    And yeah, there are tons of tiny files kept from being wiped during a reformatting. Years ago on my old XP machine I did a thorough BitDefender online scan (that's one tenacious horrible little bugger, try getting BitDefender out of your registry, jeez!). The online scan lasted 3+ hours and I was looking at the file names as they flashed by and there was stuff from before my last few reformats showing up.

  2. You might say it's a complexity of incoherent design. But then you always say that. :P

     

    I just looked at W Update and see that the same update was retried and successful last night. Whether that's because I tried to install it from the MS site and maybe shook WU's memory bank into thinking, "Oh yeah...that.", I'll never know. But it's installed. So, goody. :)

  3. Oh this is cute. I tried downloading that exact file from the official MS site and it said I already have that update installed on my computer. I guess it's a glitch in the Windows Update thingy. Sorry about the alarm.

    Happened on the 15th. When I Google/Bing it I have 2 choices...download one of two unknown fix-it "softwares" or read posts by people who have no f'n idea what they're talking about. The best they can figure out is that it has to do with permissions.

    I have Win7 Home Premium 64bit.

     

    By the way, I never use .NET. So maybe I should just let MS figger out they goofed and send out a future update fix? Sounds like a plan. ;)
