[thelist] Mail enable conflict?

[Ken Schaefer]

Personally, I think your IT Admin person is feeding you a load of bull.

There have been no recent IE updates, and none that have any perculiar
behviour on multi-proc machines -vs- single-proc machines (that I'm aware
of), and I doubt that an IE update would cause your machine to reboot
(without, at least, starting IE).

Cheers
Ken

: It was the standard setup and now it seems I know what the problem is,
: an update of IE was carried out by the IT admin yesterday and apparently
: the dual processor gets confused so the machine decided to shut down and
: would reboot
