warning - latest XP home update!

my partner ran the latest XP update for XP home, which says it fixes a security issue, and it sure did - he can’t get online. he’ll be doing a system restore.

not sure if this update is for all XP or just XP home, but i’ll be waiting on it for a while till they get it right, and if you have a problem with it, you’re not the only one. it’s like microsoft is mad at us for not adopting vista rofl
