No, this has nothing to do with Windows update.

It depends on the reason quoted in the bounces you get back from AOL. But your email may simply look too much like spam, and AOL is agressive (over agressive, in my opinion) about blocking suspected spammers. Since so much spam comes from Hotmail accounts, you're starting at a disadvantage. Try sending from an account with a different provider.

Messages from my hotmail account are not beig delivered to anyone on ...@aol.
I keep receiving delivery notification failure - although it worked perfectly in the past.I cannot contact Hotmail. Could it be due to Windows updates? Help, please.

It's because if you have for example, SBC DSL, you use the SBC browser and not IE.

I would like to know how Greg Bulmash runs Windows, but not IE. I always
Thought they are one and the same, so when you update you are updating
all of windows and not just the browser.

One of the biggest complaints is that Microsoft waits and waits on issuing these fixes because they claim they need to test them and make sure they don't bung up other things.

So users have to wait for patches while security holes sit open and exploits begin to appear in the wild. Then, when Microsoft releases them, they bung up other things.

It's like being in pain and being denied a painkiller because the doctor wants to make sure you won't have unpleasant side effects. Then, when you get it, you have unpleasant side effects. So all that pain you suffered was for nothing and you wonder if the delay was just a bunch of bullpuckey while the doctor played virtual golf or something.

Since I avoid IE and don't run the software that's having/causing other issues with the patches, the latest auto update problem hasn't impacted me. Still, I can understand people feeling duped lied to.
