Windows 7 updates disables MJ connection

Post by inaz4sun »

This has happened several times before to me as well, but when Microsoft sends out a Windows (or IE) update it then restarts and disables my MJ. It does this by changing the security settings or changing the security that MJ uses to access internet explorer to run. The only way around it this last time was for me to undo the updates then MJ started. Has anyone else found another work around for this so we can install the latest security updates for Windows 7 and IE 8?

Aslo when I upgraded to IE9 Beta, MJ did not connect, so I went back it IE8 and turned off all IE security settings. But this latest update (yesterday) from Microsoft again disabled the connection for MJ. MJ obviously uses Internet Explorer and it's internet settings to access the internet for it's GUI/connection. MJ should be actively updating their product to be in compliance with all Windows updates.

Not sure what settings I may be using differently than you, but I have absolutely no issues with my Windows7 updates/IE/MJ.
