craptastic microsloth annoyances (part 2) – More on SP2

As a side note, IE now has a built in PopUp Blocker (yay?). Lots of people have reported that they are no longer capable of running windows update since installing SP2. Here’s how you fix it;

1.In Internet Explorer, choose Tools -> Pop-up Blocker -> Pop-up Blocker Settings.

2. In the box next to “Address of Web site to allow,” type http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and click on Add, as you can see in the figure below

I didnt have to do this on Matronsinafay’s machine. But I did have to do it on my test box. Hopefully this will be the last annoying post of the day! (some how I doubt it.)
