[hpsdr] A state of shock.

[Paul Cecil]

I noticed that about the time that Jeff reported his problem that 
Microsoft pushed down an update for NET Framework 3.5. (Update to .NET 
Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 for the .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 x64 
(KB963707)). Wasn't there an issue in the past when Microsoft upgraded 
NET Framework that it caused difficulties for some individuals? I just 
can't remember when it occurred.
