I distrust anything coming out of Microsoft after an update which as far as I could see just disablebd the ability I had to burn copy cds for my car, and installed more snoopware.



Uh oh do I spy another paranoid "Microsoft is out to rule the world and enslave us all", type? Nothing wrong with Mr. Softee. I'm not an apologist for MS, I hate their so called help files especially for Word but you really must follow their recommendations and do all the updates. If you can't burn CD's for your car there's tons of third party software that does it perfectly including Real Band.

Everything is fine. I ask you the same question I ask anybody who has a chronic problem that nobody else seems to have. Think about it, like the song says "It's Gotta Be You..." I've used MSE for two years now along with AVG on two different machines. Everything is fine. Perhaps if you haven't done all the routine MS updates that could be a contributing factor here? Not saying it is, I certainly don't know for a fact but it could be.

You really should post the details of your system when asking for help with something like this. Especially the OS and latest service pack. For all we know it could be an old PIII with 256k of ram or a brand new $2,500 i7 with 24 gigs of ram.
