Guest raybat Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I downloaded a an Oracle database driver so I could move some data into our SQL Server but I could not open the file. Error: "this file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" Thanks Mickey! I found the answer on Google that describes how to fix the problem but there is probably still code running out there that needs to be destroyed. You need to run gpedit.msc and change a setting under Administrative Templates. Check Google for the specifics. I am trying to find out which Microsoft update did this to my computer and remove it. I will probably need to restore to a check point but this would be much easier if I could uninstall the specific Microsoft update. I am not sure if restoring to a check point will roll back the Microsoft update. I am so sick of Microsoft, I wonder how many relationships they destroy every day. Can you just provide me with the specific update that did this so I can remove it!

Can Microsoft destruct any faster? I really need to start replying to all those surveys Microsoft keeps sending. I do feel sorry for all the help desk people having to listen to all the anger that Microsoft is generating. It doesn't matter, I have the answer. I will just write a program to undo this Microsoft bug for others. I just wanted to know which "Microsoft update" to remove so I wouldn't need to write something.
