More info?)
Hello Ad,
Thank's for bringing my mistake to my att. I was told this at a Tech
Net metting in San Jose. I found what he meant was, there was no Security
Center prior to SP2 and that if the Sec. Cent. was not in Control Panel then
SP2 was not installed. I no longer post things I am told without back up in
print, no matter the source. We all make mistakes. I don't hold anything
aginst him but this has taught me a lesson. Have a pleasant day.
