Well Bob got the computer up and running. For the time being. It seems the XP program his computer buddy found on eBay cannot be validated by MSN so we aren't able to update it. I still want to buy a new computer and use this one as a back up. I'm afraid to upload documents and pictures in case something else goes wrong and I lose them. Jan, I have heard of maggots working wonders on infections. Not sure I'd want them in the house though! Yuck! His foot could probably use a few though. Some of the surrounding tissue is dead looking so I'm not sure if the doctor will want to cut that out or not. We will have to mention maggots to him and see what he says. he-he Not sure what the maggots could do for the bone on the next toe. That doesn't look so hot either. The doctor thought he might have to amputate all of Bob's toes. I guess he'd end up with a foot like the Chinese ladies of yore who had bound feet. It is unseasonably cold here in southeastern Wisconsin. The high is around 72 degrees every day and it goes down in the low 60s at night which is just fine with me. I just wish I could work outside instead of in our office where it feels like a morgue. At lunch time I go out to my car and sit in it with the windows rolled up. It takes me a few minutes to thaw out and it feels wonderful. I can feel the muscles loosening up. One day I will have to quit and apply for disability. It gets harder and harder to sit on a chair in the same position for 8+ hours a day in the freezing cold. Keep those prayers coming for Bob! As long as he is feeling good, I'm feeling good too! Love ya guys! Kathy

A chat format makes it so hard for other members to read, learn and help. It at times can delay help. Please take a moment and tag your orignal thread to this one. Since members have so many things going on in their lives, participate in multiple forums, and just don't remember prior sharings it sure makes things easier when matters are kept in one continuous thread.

Zep, You are 100% correct in this instance. However, at that time I was speaking in general. Now that I am home and able to navigate my Vista system I must amend my prior statement. In Vista if you select Programs and Features from the Control Panel the traditional Add/Remove utility will appear. On the report several updates will be displayed. IN ADDITION, I just observed where in the upper left hand corner there is a portal under Tasks called View Installed Updates. By clicking on the portal a report is generated showing installed updates and a method is provided to unistall any listed update. I have no idea as to any other O/S other than Win98 as I personally went from Win98 to Vista and I never thought of looking at my XP system and my Win2000 system at work. Tomorrow I will look. Unless of course someone wishes to take a moment and share their knowledge with us. Caroline, If you have time would you please share with us how the MS tech resolved your concern. It would be nice to know so if in the future another member has the same concern and you are not available we can help. DA

Scheduled Win 10 updates usually get released on or about the second Tuesday of the month. My habit has been to do the update manually at a time of my own choice and NOT to wait for it to happen automatically. I save my work...close web browsers...close email...close all unneeded programs and just get it done. If you are having difficulty because the update takes too long, you might try disabling your antivirus before doing the update. Just don't forget to turn it back on after you reboot.
