A Message from the President
Thank you for reading the May 2006 Computing Made Simple, LLC
newsletter!
May looks to be an "exciting" month for computer users.
Microsoft issued a bad patch at the end of April that has caused many
users to have issues on their systems. Read more about this below.
As always, the viruses are going strong. There are a few new parasites
out the are keeping the techies on their toes.
In April, Microsoft announced their intention to "really" stop support
on Windows 98 and ME operating systems in July. (We think they actually
mean it this time!)
Hope you enjoy this issue. Please email us at the address below if you
have any comments or questions.
Best Regards, Regina

9x adn ME support to end in July |
 |
|
Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 98, Windows 98SE and
Windows ME will be ending soon.
The company has been telling people to replace their old operating
systems for two years now. It looks like they mean it this time!
In order to give users of the old operating systems time to upgrade,
the company had extended their January 2004 cutoff to July 11, 2006.
If they go through with it this time, Microsoft will cut off all
security patches and even paid support for all 3 systems on July 11th.

Issues Bad Patch |
|
|
One Microsoft security patch released in April is causing Internet
Explorer lockups, Windows hangs and system crashes for some IT
administrators and partners.
MS06-015 is one of five patches Microsoft released Tuesday April 11th
to correct, among other things, a "critical" Windows Explorer
vulnerability that hackers could use to execute code remotely.
But that security patch contains a new file — named Verclsid.exe — that
conflicts with Hewlett-Packard printers, scanners and cameras, one
Microsoft security official acknowledged on Microsoft's online
technical support site.
