As I normally do from time to time, I went to the Microsoft Windows Update page to download the "critical updates" which I have done numerous times in the past to keep my Windows Home XP updated.
After the update I noticed an abnormality in my Front Page program in that the hyperlinks and thumbnail functions were not working when using the "preview" feature on a given page.
After some frustration - thinking something was fouled with my Front Page
I did a "system restore" to a previous day. Everything worked as normal.
In an attempt to determine which of the updates may have caused the problem, I went back and downloaded the 9 critical update files one at a time, checking Front Page after each download. First one worked just fine.
After downloading the 2nd one - Front Page problem reappeared. When I tried the "system restore" after that to get back to where everthing worked I got a error message about corrupt files in kontiki.exe (or something like that). suggesting I do a "Disk check". I did that and several corrupted files were discovered and messages indicated that "check disk" had done something (God only knows what to correct -- messages flew by so fast on the screen I couldn't read em).
After "system restore" and "disk check" - things seemed to work ok.
HOWEVER: I shut down my computer yesterday (usually leave it on 24/7. Now whenever I restart the pute I get an error message that "Kontiki Client" has a problem.
Another clue which may help: I cannot enter the SMC Chat room using the link from SMC Home Page. Nor can I enter the Java Script Chat room on one of my web sites. So I suspect there is also some Java problem (not sure about this). I am able to get into SMC Chat room using Trillion software.
So -- -- please -- someone help me understand what this Kontiki stuff is and if I have some Java Script problem.
Getting dumber by the minute. The longer I look, the dumber I get --
