Do you run Quickbooks? We do and quickbooks was able to uninstall the
microsoft .NET 2 from our computer - I went back into microsoft update and
only installed the new 3 version. The only problem is that my boss is on her
computer and was on the phone with Dell tech support and they had her
reinstall Windows all together and it won't do ANY updates at all. DO NOT DO
THIS - IT IS CATASTROPHIC!!!!! Dell tech support won't even take
resposiblity for their own error. If anyone knows how to bypass the system
to get the 91 windows updates we need to actually funtion - it would be
helpful!
