"SP3" = Service Pack 3 and sort-of looked liked "specialist" designation, so fit with the attempt at humor.

Don't touch Service Pack 4. no, no, no.

Humor, ok.

SP4 is probably already installed as auto updates was on. I turned if off in the control panel. It didn't like it no no no. Even NAV has freaked out. I turned it back on. I can prevent installs as I get a notification when I go to shut down to click on a link and not the usual button if I want to turn off my computer without doing the installs, a nuisance.

I was poking around those folders, hard to know what they all are for but looked in one for downloaded and see two Active X Control files are damaged.

Well, what is wrong with SP4 now that I've probably got it? I found two files with SP4 in them, one a .dll and one a .STK file.

I feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette every time I let those installs go through because I have no clue what they might do. I used to go out and get them myself, and it would explain a little, still left me pretty clueless.

Oh the joys of Windows.

Maybe I don't have SP4. I went to ms and found this so did it, says Service Pack 3.

"To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Copy and paste, or type the following command and then click OK:
winver
A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer."

So what do you suggest I do now? I can't find much on SP4 except download it, won't. Don't see any known issues.
