Thanks for the prompt reply Emdek, much appreciated!
Looks from what you say that I'm OK using the normal installer as I have XP SP3 installed.
Hopefully the update routine will return to as it was before soon.
Good news about the spell checking and pasword saving. Of course synchonisation is a lot harder as you will have to have some sort of server at your end to do it, but maybe one day!
Cheers, Dave.

Otter Browser Forum / Otter and Windows XP
Hi, been lurking for a while, and finally joined to ask this as I couldn't find an obvious answer anywhere.
Why is there a separate download now for Otter updates for Windows XP?

I'm running 32 bit XP SP3 and I'm still using the normal exe update files and everything seems to be fine.
What is the difference with the specifically XP zip option?

When I check for updates now a mesage pops up saying that downloads may not be available for my platform, which never used to happen, and I now have to go to the delails page and manually select the download I want, when it used to just happen. I guess this is because I'm on XP, but why?

I really like the look of Otter BTW, although it still needs some functional additions before I would consider using it all the time, such as synchronisation, spell checking, and password storage. It is much nearer in look and feel to my beloved Opera 12 than Vivaldi is though.

Keep up the good work, and Happy Christmas and New Year to you all!
Cheers, Dave.
