  1. Undesrstandably annoyed. why is it when I click to download this update the process begins then 80% into the thing tells me this is an invalid folder or program and closes out. Tgis should be troublw free, why is it not?????
  2. I wondered about the forced download/update. The new version has not worked at for me. signing in takes about 6 tries, then hangs up and reads contacts not found. Sometimes it just locks up and closes all by itself. Only downloaded a couple days ago......if I had read about all these problems before hand, I wouldn't even thought about downloading.

    How do I uninstall and get the old version back? Do I have to restore pc to a few days ago?

    Shame on you Microsoft.......can't trust anybody anymore.
  3. EpicGeek I COULD KISS YOU RIGHT NOW

    THANK YOU !!!
  4. I am colour blind too and have this problem as well. Bit slack of Microsoft not to take into account colour blind people (7-10% of males).
  5. Anybody still having trouble with forced upgrade, you can try this one:

    It uses the VersionInfo method (same as ResHacker routine) but it's more suitable for the average user (who is not used to manually tampering with exe files).
