Components have changed-what does the IE mean?

Published by: smith 2009-07-04

I used the OP recently,so there are a lot things I don't aquainted.

Today when I browse some web , there is a notification jumped out just like what I posted. I am wandering what is the difference between the "update information for changed component" and "make changed component shared".And what will be the result when I choose the "Block this application untill it is restarted".I don't know why did this happened. Is this normal ?

I need the help of you .

Thank you. :)http://forum.ikaka.com/uploadfiles/200510/17/28054420051017172041.jpg

Hi FirePost ,thank you for your link , I think it will be helpful.

Hello Lookcity,
For many reasons components within Windows change, and it is normal.
OP detects these changes and gives you the choice of how you want to deal with the changes.
The safest option, and the one I always use, is to "update the information for the change component".
Making the changed component shared is not advisable, as it then makes the component available for use by any application, and not just the one to which it refers.
Generally, if you block the change, you will lose the ability to use the application.
Nothing to worry about, but if ever you are not sure, choose block and see what happens. Next time you try to use the application, if it needs the changed component it will prompt you again.
