Still OT, but somehow related and JFYI: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/11/when-children-are-breached-inside-the-massive-vtech-hack/ http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/12/man-arrested-in-toymaker-hack-says-he-wanted-to-expose-inadequate-security/ It is probable that the kid (the arrested 21-year-old man) was just playing with the thing, and it got out of control, apart from the possible consequences he faces, the issue is IMHO of great importance, we are talking of millions of e-mails, personal data and more: ... and it's not like such a high level hack was needed to access the data, only a simple, re-known, old SQL injection... jaclaz

Then don't. Frankly your rhetoric, and that of others who continue to pollute this forum with same, is not only boring, but very annoying.

Just download the newly attached text file and save it somewhere. When you visit again in a year, you can download the latest file and compare this with your old copy and then you'll see what has changed.

I will - I know that I have two Netburst (P4-style) Xeon Processors at 3.68 GHz.. But I'll grab CPU-Z when I get a chance.

Simply put the updates NDP30SP2-KB3048073-v2-x86, NDP40-KB2979575-v2-x86, NDP40-KB3048074-x86 and NDP40-KB3072309-x86 are no longer needed, they are superfluous. About why the older updates are unnecessary, should simply look for the latest updates from Microsoft on the support side and the replaced Updates are listed under "Update replacement information". This is the same as I would for a new installation, install all updates for Internet Explorer 8 since it was released, although currently only two are needed for this (KB2598845 and KB3104002). This topic has also been discussed here in the thread. Here's a comparison of NDP40-KB3072309-x86 and NDP40-KB3099866-x86: @hmuellers Just a note, if it would be here all the users just do not care, this thread would be empty.

I've redownloaded it from the link in the quote above right now, and the downloaded file is identical to the one I already had in my records. Please do try again, and make sure to use http, not https... sometimes the browser changes it without telling you, so you have to change it back explicitly, and only then it'll accept http.

hmuellers - just downloaded and tried to install exFAT file system driver (KB955704): https://www.microsof...s.aspx?id=19364 but both attempts got error messages that file is corrupt. (Yes I picked the one for XP SP3.) EDIT - RE-DOWNLOAD SEEMS TO BE OK, BUT I STOPPED TO DO A BACKUP FIRST. Thanks.

Added support for TaskBand2CompositedSmallIcons::TaskBand2 part Added support for TrayNotify*::Button 3-state images (sizing is still hardcoded, unfortunately) http://startisback.com/StartIsBackPlusPlus_setup.exe Aaand I think that's it for 1.2.

So if I have the installers for all six of these archived, I can safely delete and forget about the three that are listed as having been replaced?

If anything expect from them the disintegration of such ability in W7, "to ease the upgrade experience to Windows 10" ...

Uhhhh... Isn't that Warez? Rule#1, right here - http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules You might want to reconsider this Topic.

^^ OMG, really?!? @big muscle's gonna have to quit his real job and take up reworking Aero Glass fulltime just to keep up with the never-ending stream of new builds. This is actually making me feel nostalgic for the bad old days of Ballmer. --JorgeA
