 Besides the Badger, you mean? Well, over the last week or so, EE's Engineers have pushed a few significant changes, and in the process, put the PAQ (now known as Solutions) into a difficult-to-find area, and removed the "Your Questions" section altogether. Kudos to them, however, because they've put them back where they should be -- on every Resource Channel page. Click on the Expert Mode link, at the left side of the page under your username, to see everything.And what about the Badger? Well, he made his first appearance in the Lounge -- go figure -- as the result of an offhand remark by a Member, but he's been lurking around for some time. The owners liked him, so now he holds down the picture spot of any Page Editor who hasn't sent one in yet. |

Collapsing a treeview
A lot of things aren't as complicated as we think, but that fact isn't always apparent, either. This question is also a great example of how an Expert guides a Member through figuring out something himself.

 I never used a 286, so I had to take the SOP's word for it when he told me my computer was slower than one. It happened right after my Norton Antivirus was updated. When I went to Symantec, they blamed VeriSign:Symantec is currently investigating reported computer slow downs and instability. This issue appears to be related to VeriSign receiving an unusual number of requests by Windows-based clients to download a certificate revocation list (CRL) on January 7-8, 2004. This increase in traffic resulted in intermittent VeriSign CRL server availability. For security purposes, Symantec products routinely verify the integrity of system components and at times were unable to achieve the authentication they were seeking due to the unavailability of VeriSign's server -- therefore customers experienced delays and instabilities. Symantec and other vendors are cooperatively working with VeriSign to mitigate this situation.
I don't know why it happens only if you run the update, but the solution to the problem is pretty simple:
1. Open up Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, Options and then the Advanced tab on the resulting screen.
2. Scroll down to the Security heading, then UNcheck the "Check for publisher's certificate revocation" checkbox.

| One other note: Microsoft won't be supporting Windows 98, nor offering security updates, after January 16, 2004. You'll still be able to get help on line, but that's about it -- you won't be able to phone MS or get email support. If you're not planning on upgrading to one of the newer Windows operating systems, you might want to consider buying Premium Services at Experts Exchange. |
