Microsoft's OS Verification
Wednesday, February 16, 2005
I was having trouble getting ‘autoplay’ to work on my XP Pro machine when I inserted a memory stick. A quick search pointed me to a Microsoft program called AutoFix which was reported to be able to fix my problem. When I tried to download it, however, I was asked to verify the authenticity of my operating system installation.
In all fairness, it was optional. But i went ahead and agreed just to see what happened. Guess what? You cannot successfully verify your operating system’s authenticity if you are using Mozilla or Firefox – you have to use IE.
What a crock.
So I finally declined and downloaded the file… much to my surprise, it worked like a champ. Check the comments if you’d like a copy…
