Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: downloading question Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 10:24 am Posted by Steve (23810 messages posted) Doubt it. Just use the old version of Firefox. That is what I do on the Old PC.. Win ME won't run new versions Of Internet Explorer either. If you want to continue using Windows ME, just consider it like a old car that you can't get brand New parts for anymore, and are happy it just still runs.

Firefox 2.0.0.17 is the last version that runs on all versions of Windows. All version 3.0's need WinNT. What version are you running?

WorldStart.com...Quick tip: New Release Firefox 3.0.3. on 10/03/08 was my source for downloading. Because I have firefox 2.0.0.17, I believe, I thought that my WinMe could download 3.0.3. "Steve" who writes my weekly computer tip letter does not refer to any requirement or version that one needs to download 3.0.3..All he writes is press "here' to go to download of 3.0.3, simple as that. Well, obviously it was not that simple...WinMe cannot download Firefox 3.0.3...I wondered why, so this is my question: Can I somehow go around Win2000 which is one of the way I could download it...It really is not that important..I just found the issue challenging and thought that I could seek advise here at Annoyances.

I just wrote to Keith Stanier asking the question that you just answered. I then read your comment and perhaps Keith will answer with your very same thought on the question.. Thanks Steve, you guys always make my day. On Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 10:24 am, Steve wrote: >Doubt it. Just use the old version of Firefox.

The very word KernelEx gives me the willies. I had some difficulties with this program some time ago. I do not even remember how I got throught that, but I am familiar with it. Now as for my WinME computer, I think that I have to follow the advise that Steve gave me yesterday, when he said that I should just use the Mozilla firefox that I now have...Because my WinMe computer is like "an old car" that will give me problems finding new parts for it..I agree with him, and I have decided to just enjoy what I now have. However, I have to say that you guys at annoyances have always been there for me...I want to thank you for your advise, but I am just a tad skeptical that I could even follow instructions to work with KernelEx and that could lead to my head exploding.
