All the updates listed are for "your" computer! The optional ones are
just that - optional. (The dotnet framework should be optional).

Does the problem still exist?
If so, yes you can remove the DN framemwork - it's in Start, Control
Panel, Add or Remove PRograms. (It will be listed under 'm' fer
Microsoft - "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1"). Click on the entry, and
then the Change/Remove button and follow your nose to remove (uninstall)
it.
I would just leave things that way. If you are running some other
application software that used the .NET 1.1 framework, it'll probably
let you know!

(when you try and run it).
So if you need to re-install it (as said, don't bother unless one of
your other installed programs complains it's now missing) - do so via
Windows Update (and select it in the Optional stuff to install).
Once installed, it may want to reboot - if not, reboot anyway. Now go
back to Windows Update again, and you'll find a critical update is ready
to download and install (for the .NET 1.1 Framework). So do that too.
Hopefully, it'll be all go this time round.
But as said, I would not bother to re-install it - unless some other
application requires it. (It'll let yer know

Jeez, is KOL still around? Unlimited dialup for $9.95/month. Telecom
sounds like pretty expensive dialup to me.
