I don't know. I don't want to know. I no longer use those systems, and
try my best not to repair other people's broken winboxen. For my low
competency level, fixing a winbox today simply mean reinstalling the
OS and then installing my box 'o tricks: AVG antivirus, AVG
antispyware, Zonealarm free, OOo, Firefox, and VLC.

Maybe someone should port yum to windows :)
