Thanks all!!!! I'm in the process of taking looking into all the advice I've been given..... I forgot to ask something else. My Internet Explorer doesnt let me access certain hyperlinks, even some on Microsoft websites. Is there any other browser I can download that will allow me to access and download updates from microsofts update website???? Ive tried using Firefox, but I cant download updates from that browser.
