Sweetness! I think. Those wretches really really want taht shit in our computers. The first thing I tried was system restore. MS won't let me restore to a point before installation. I didn't try norton ghost since the last update point was a long while before I had downloaded a bunchof other software. I was thinking it would be a last resort, but maybe that wouldn't have worked either.
A number of the fixes on the site didn't work. Going to the third or fourth solution, C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\ Download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a allowed me to throw out wga related files and applications. Only the folder wasn't 6c4788c95 etc etc. it had a different string of characters.
a file by any other name would reek as much...
Well, I think it is out, out damn spot...
I usually tell microsoft to "pound salt" somehow, they caught me at a weak moment.
Thanks V,
And Maggie, I am thinking I might want to go Ubuntu, will I have to learn linux?
