HI EVERYONE.... LET ME JUST START BY SAYING THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED ME OUT WITH MY COMPUTER ISSUES. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, I HAD TO COMPLETELY REINSTALL MY WINXP PROF 2002, SP3 AND WAS SUCCESSFUL... HOPE TO NEVER HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MY SYSTEM FOR EIGHT YEARS (DELL) AND IT'S BEEN COMPLETELY REINSTALLED TWICE SINCE. LAST REINSTALLMENT WAS DEC. 06 BY A PROFESSIONAL IT PERSON AND IT WENT UNEVENTFUL. MY SYSTEM WAS UP AND RUNNING. WHENEVER THE UPDATE TO SP3 HAPPENED, IT DID SO ALL ON ITS OWN BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL IT AS I WAS NEVER SO TECHNICALLY INVOLVED WITH MY COMP UNTIL I STARTED MY HOME BUSINESS AND IN ORDER TO SAVE $$. THANKS TO THE TECH HELP ON THIS WEBSITE, I'VE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN TROUBLESHOOTING ANY PROBLEMS. NOW, I AS I WAS SAYING, I REINSTALLED THIS WEEK AND JUST TONIGHT DID I FINALLY COMPLETED ALL OF THE TWEKS AND SNAGS, EXCEPT FOR ONE TINY LITTLE ANNOYING PROBLEM THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL TO BOTHER ME!!!! AND OF COURSE IT'S THE INFAMOUS WINDOWS NOTIFICATION ADVANTAGE (WHATEVER.. WGA!). MY SYSTEM IS 100% LEGITIMATE. I HAVE PAPERWORK AND RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT. MY RAGE IS THAT AFTER MY SUCCESSFUL REINSTALLATION THIS BUG INSISTS THAT I HAVE A PIRATED VERSION. ARE U KIDDING ME????? I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE POSTED THEIR OPINIONS ON THIS ISSUE HERE OBJECTING AND/OR DISAGREEING WITH THIS UPDATE! COME ON NOW! HOW LONG HAS THIS WGA THING BEEN AROUND??? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I'M NOT A TECHIE; HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIOUS TO FIGURE OUT THAT THIS IS BOGUS! COME ON! IT'S ASKING FOR VALIDATION NOW AFTER HOW LONG? AND I'VE HAD MY SYSTEM SINCE 2000, REISNTALLED TWICE, AND NOW IT'S SUDDENLY ALLEGING I HAVE A PIRATED VERSION?????!! OH PLEASE. LEB OH, AND ONE MORE THING... DOES ANYONE KNOW IF NOT HAVING THIS NAGGING UPDATE WILL AFFECT MY SYSTEM SOMEHOW? IT SEEMS THAT IT DID AFFECT OTHERS IN THE PAST. I'M AFRAID MY SYSTEM WILL EVENTUALLY MESS UP. HELP?

LEB One of the possible problems it causes is it affects your Caps Lock and Spell Checker so's you cannot type properly in mixed case with correct spelling or form paragraphs Looks like you got hit by that bug.

I now have another issue and I'm not sure if it's related or not, but here it goes: my hotmail account when accessed through IE (not windows live) is frozen; though the other tabs work just fine (other opened web pages). I now have to run Windows Live to check my emails which is ok, but I prefer having a tab opened in browser because Live mail slows down my system. Does anyone know why this page is frozen? The yellow alert on the lower left corner, indicates "Working on your request...." meaning that it's changing to the alternate view, and this alert is frozen in time, as well obviously. I would appreciate any input. Thank you in advance. Oh! pls. advise, what bug are you referring to? > One of the possible problems it causes is it affects your Caps Lock and Spell > Checker so's you cannot type properly in mixed case with correct spelling or [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >OH PLEASE. > >LEB I don't know what Microsoft did to Hotmail but I have the same problem, not always, but enough for me to dump it. I now use Gmail and like it. It's kind of a pain letting everyone know your new email address and you do need to keep your Hotmail account and check it from time to time, but once you complete the switch you'll be happy. As for the WGA (very annoying), I would not hesitate to call Microsoft and get that straightened out. I have had to call them 3 times for the same issue you are having and they validated it each time. It takes about 15 minutes on the phone. Ramone > Bug? not understanding. Thank you for the input...

Typing in all caps is considered rude and is very hard to read. I didn't even make it past the first sentence before I stopped reading. WHO ASKED YOU? SO WHAT IF I TYPE IN CAPS? WHO THE HECK ARE U TO TELL ANYONE WHAT TO DO? THIS ARENA IS FOR THOSE SEEKING HELP, NOT OLD FARTS LIKE YOU WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO HARASS AND TYPE UP THE MOST IGNORANT STATEMENTS... HARD TO READ? HA! IF YOU TAKE THE FACT THAT ONE TYPES IN CAPS IN AN ARENA SUCH AS THIS, THEN YOU HAVE SERIOUS MENTAL ISSUES. IT'S IGNORANT INEPT INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS YOURSELF WHO NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM A WONDERFUL SITE SUCH AS THIS AND SEEK HELP ELSEWHERE, BY STARTING WITH YOUR UNSTABLE BRAIN. IF YOU DIDN'T GET PASS THE FIRST LINE, WHY DO YOU BOTHER RESPONDING. WHY DO YOU BOTHER AT ALL. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF a.s AND LEAVE THE REST ALONE. Stop yelling. Typing in all caps is considered rude and is very hard to read. I didn't even make it past the first sentence before I stopped reading.

As much as I hate to admit it, but Old Duke is correct. Netiquette does say that writing in CAPS is shouting and rude. And as for an outcome, you did not get much help or support, did you. And if you want to get mad at Microsoft for WGA, write to Microsoft. There is nothing anyone of us can do about rants here. Probably there are many here who likewise hate WGA with the same, if not more, vim and vigor, have persevered and helped others who have asked. GHalleck, I AGREE WITH YOU ALL, BUT THE FACT THAT I TYPE IN CAPS DOESN'T MEAN I'M YELLING. YOU'RE ALL FUNNY WITH YOUR STATEMENTS AND I WILL NOT TAKE THEM PERSONALLY, IT'S JUST THAT IT'S BOTHERSOME THAT ANYONE WOULD BOTHER ATTACKING OTHERS WHEN WE'RE JUST SEEKING HELP ... AND YES, I ACTUALLY DID GET HELP. ALWAYS DO. VERY THANKFUL AND I AM ALSO APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR COMMENTS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THEY ACTUALLY MADE ME LAUGH. NO, NOT LAUGHING AT YOU ALL, JUST AT HOW EASILY I'VE NOTICED HERE (NOT JUST ON THIS THREAD) BUT ON OTHERS HOW MANY PEOPLE DO GET ATTACK OVER SILLY ISSUES. I PREFER CAPS BECAUSE I CAN RELAX MY EYES BETTER. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YELLING. SO MY APOLOGIES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FELT INSULTED, BUT PRIOR TO ALL OF THIS NONSENSE, I RECEIVED HELP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BECAUSE THOSE INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION. THE OLD DUKE CAME ALONG WHEN HE HAD NO REASON TO HAD HE READ THE PRIOR RESPONSES. I KNOW MANY WHO TYPE IN CAPS BECAUSE IT'S PREFERRED BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO INSULT ANYONE.... IF ANYTHING, OLD DUKE COULD HAVE USED SOME NETIQUETTE HIMSELF BEFORE RESPONDING. OUT OF RESPECT, here you go. No caps. And for Old Duke, Nonny, PD43, and Stan - you seriously need a life. wasting time with crap as this tells the true story of how pathetic you all are.... no need to respond as it will be ignored since I do have a wonderful life... you ought to try it sometime. it's actually nice. Thank you kindly everyone. > > INEPT INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS YOURSELF WHO NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM A WONDERFUL > > SITE SUCH AS THIS AND SEEK HELP ELSEWHERE, BY STARTING WITH YOUR UNSTABLE [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > are many here who likewise hate WGA with the same, if not more, vim > and vigor, have persevered and helped others who have asked. >GHalleck, I AGREE WITH YOU ALL, BUT THE FACT THAT I TYPE IN CAPS DOESN'T MEAN >I'M YELLING.

Nope, didn't hear you. I don't read all caps posts. They are too hard on the eyes. Oh, and as I mentioned a second ago...replies go down here, dumbass. >WHO ASKED YOU? SO WHAT IF I TYPE IN CAPS?
