Ahh, I see now. I’m still using WinXP, for which there are no major upgrades any longer, so that problem never occurred to me.

With the hacked patch files, you have to re-patch every time there’s a major Windows update… which usually means you can’t install any updates until there’s a new patch file out.

Not to be a Negative Nancy, just wondering if there’s some benefit I’m missing.
