Guest HDL Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I'd my first "Problem report and solution" (KB941649) notification and I was also taken aback by the necessity to install this component. I'd been getting updates (Vista) for months, and they are always tidily nestled in the "sleep/lock session/shutdown" buttons in the start menu screen. They install when I shut down, and configure when I next start up. I'd had to wonder whether this "Problem report and solution" thing wasn't actually a pop-up from some spy-ware people masquerading as Microsoft, asking me to disable my Active-X blocking, and everything. Without any intentional irony, I'd like to know, for asking me whether my Vista is genuine, are you genuine Microsoft yourselves? Why doesn't this update just magically percipitate like all the others?

I can not validate my Vista as genuine , can not load X and therefore cannot load 941649. When i try the alternative method of validation Internet explorer just closes down. any thoughts??? paul
