• 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.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Dave, I believe there's a section where you can check a box to recieve updates for "other" Microsoft products. I have the Office suite so I checked mine to get them. Take a look at the Windows Update preferences/options and see if
that's the case. I'm running the 64bit version of Vista. I also get updates on video/sound drivers for the cards I have installed as well.
