Hi back from Australia-us colonials got to stick together

I guess I have to live with it, but seems very intrusive, I preferred to old way. Microsoft  validated you when you logged on to their site.

Thank you for your imput.

After allowing WGA update to be installed(a mistake!) it conflicts with my Kerio Firewall and crashes the system. I have the option of  allowing WGA all the time or disallowing it all the time. The asking permission option crashes the system.    I had no idea that this patch would try to call home on every log on. I am going to try to remove this and any comments would be appreciated

Thank you guys for the welcome

I am fairly new to posting and the computer world in general and I expect to learn a lot from all of you. Thank you for the invitation
