AVSIM file downloads broken today (6/12)?

[Guest]

I'm a regular AVSIM file user, but this morning (9:45 a.m. CDT) I'm unable to download any files from the AVSIM file library. Is it just me?Thanks.

Actually it's working fine for me. I had been having problems the last few days due to settings in my firewall.Brent HebertMEMBERhttp://www.cox-internet.com/bhebert/aopa.jpg

Hi Brent,Based upon feedback from another user, it looks like this problem may be related to my recent (last night) Microsoft autoupdate of my Windows XP SP-1 system. My Internet Explorer browser version is now 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633.FYI, I just fired up Netscape Communicator 4.79 and it downloads Avsim files just fine.

Same version numbers as I have. I do have the Q818529 update afterall, but there is no way to uninstall it since it doesn't appear in my Add/Remove Programs menu.Brent HebertMEMBERhttp://www.cox-internet.com/bhebert/aopa.jpg

My experience thus far suggests that this situation is unique to Avsim. The download process from other sites doesn't appear to be affected. I hope that the Avsim tech gurus look into this.For what it's worth, here are the Windows XP patches I installed yesterday:817787: Security Update Windows Media Player for XP Web site Q815021 XP: Security Update Web site Q817287: Critical Update (Catalog Database Corruption in Microsoft Windows XP) Web site 811493: Security Update (Windows XP) Web site 330994: April 2003, Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 Web site 818529: June 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1

Q811493 and Q815021 updates seem to be the ofenders. I uninstalled them but for some reason, I still could not download from AVSIM. I had to restore to a date previous to these two updates. No problem downloading now. Litow
