• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Hi Guys,

Because I have no choice but to stay with Windows XP, I've done some research as to what I can do to protect myself. The following link comes from an article in my local newspaper and directs you to an offline updater webpage. I didn't check closely, but it also will update Win 7 and windows servers. It's also very free.

If you're going to stick with XP after next week and are worried about reinstalling at a future date, for example, then this might be a God-send for you. I downloaded, installed and ran it last night and I can tell you that it works just fine. I now have all windows XP updates on a flash drive so I can do a proper reinstall if ever needed.

I love my games and CFS2 is my numero uno. They run best on XP so I thought I'd better protect my personal status quo. If nothing else, take a look.....you might find this to be very worthwhile.

Good luck with that, Kelti. Let me know what you think of it, please. I'm hopeful it's the real deal.

I may try a dual boot with XP and Win7 at a later date, but downloading files in a 64 bit environment won't help a game on a 32 bit operating system so that idea is kind of self defeating for me.

This program might just be a life saver for some.

Cheers,
