Mine was 2 years ago at 38 and since that day all they have done is disgust me with the smell.

Both of us are quite lucky, my Cardiologist told me that most men that have heart attacks in their 30's are fatal. I only had to have Angioplasty done both times, on different arteries .

You should, It is not good for your health, I have not had a smoke since 12.01.1994 the day of my last heart attack and also my Anniversary.

I gave up 5 weeks before my heart attack so I don't believe a word

I was only an occasional social smoker and stopped October 1989 and had my first heart attack in Jan 1990.
Mine is family history. I was 32 at the time.

It is not available on windows update, says so in the article. You have to download the files. Seems like it is hard to find. I put the link into Firefox and it tells me to use IE. So I fire up IE10 and get a pretty page with a globe on it.

Microsoft Update Catalog

On one of my machines IE10 does not work with this site. No offer to install the add on for the catalogue.

I don't use IE10 only as a backup but I don't get anything on any of my machines now except the main page, no prompts to install an add in. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

The update links are in my post above your last two.

Dunno about the ie add on.

Thanks, I saw that and have downloaded both of them. When you write your tutorial about rolling up Windows 7 updates will we need to have the catalogue website working?

No, probably easiest to use stevens update lists and just d/l them into a folder without using ie.

can you post what the add on is as this will be helpful to others wanting to use the hotfix, including myself

I'm not sure if I missed something and this was already answered...
The IE add on (ActiveX) is Windows Update Catalog.

When I first opened the Microsoft Update Catalog page with IE 9
- IE prompted me to Install an Add on (I agreed).
- Then it prompted me to Run the Add on (I agreed).
- I had to close and re-open the page to see the changes, including the Search Box.

I found this MS article about the Add on.
Unable to install microsoft update catalog addon - Microsoft Community
Note: The link to download the DLL in this article is NOT an MS site!

So did anyone actually install this?

Also curious why it's hidden in such a way? It kind of feels like Microsoft didn't want this released to the general public.

Thoughts?
