Reply #16: all of these updates have about rendered my old laptop useless

[CountAllVotes]

I had to install .net framework 2.0 to get the updates. By the time all of this was installed, ye old laptop with Windows 2000 on it is a nightmare and basically useless now. :(

I ran scans on it and it had trojans, etc. on it which it was picking up quickly being I didn't have .net 2 framework installed on it. As for passwords, not much of anything to be found on it.

It forces one to have to go out and buy a new computer because it renders the old ones useless which is not right.

Ye old laptop is not about to be tossed out however. I'm keeping it anyway because it still works JUST FINE even though only 1 gb. of space is left on its tiny HD. :grr:
