Have you turned off or disabled any services? have any firewall software or a router?

Yes, but v6 will be different in that:

- It aims to block out pirated editions...again. Updates will be delivered to all machines (including pirated versions) through Automatic Update though.
- Integration of several Microsoft products into one single update system. This is the reason for the name change from Windows Update to Microsoft Update. So basically, one site to update Windows, Office etc. :)

That would be very nice, yes! So tedious to run multiple updates when installing a new machine.
 
Agreed. I'm looking forward to that. The current v5a beta is still Windows-only. :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
