Herbyb, Dale is right about your needing to select "Custom" versus "Express" for updating Windows. I truly wish we didn't have to go through all this.
We have thousands of users working fine with Microstudio, so I'm very, very interested to find out why you aren't.
Please... post back here after doing your Updates to let us know if that is the problem.
Thank you so very much for even taking the time to post your problem. I realize you could have just said the heck with it, and we'd never know if there is a problem or not.
Sincerely,
David Cox
President
