What do you mean "with shut down cd"? Can I do that without opening computer and
take off power supply. I think I have misunderstood you.
Does this mean that most of us haven´t installed the patch, but we think we
have? That explains why I and many other must put in CD every time, also after
installing the patch. After this patch is said in read.txt that you shouldn´t
have to do that.
