How do I get software updates for WindowsXP on Firefox3.6.8

I had a problem with IE and started using Firefox as my browser. Ever since I started using Firefox my Windows Update feature will not open. It tries to open IE then the box abruptly closes. I also have not seen the automatic update icon on the desktop since using Firefox. Is there a fix or some sort of solution that won't involve a lot of time and effort.

I'll suggest you to uninstall your IE and then reinstall IE for the Windows Update. Personally, I don't trust any other sites except Microsoft for any of their security updates. There are just too many hackers for Microsoft out there.

    how do i get iOS updates for my ipad?  I never received an automatic update for it.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

The cd told me that the installation was not recommended and I should get software update from Apple. but did not give me a link as to where I could go. Please help!

    It should print with old drivers but you need the updated drivers for scanning.

  • Stop getting software update for printer I no longer have

    I continue to receive software update notifications for a Cannon Inkjet printer that I replaced two years ago with an HP.  I have deleted all Cannon software and applications I can find via spotlight.  These notifications are embedded in the OS X notification "update available."  How do I get rid of them?

    Have you checked System Preferences > Printers & Scanners to make sure the Canon printer is removed?  If not, remove it.

    I've followed the directions explicitly but at the point where I point the memory card into the Treo for the update it doesn't work.  How does the software update (1.08) get onto the memory card?  Do I download it onto my computer, double-click the zip file and copy it all into the PALM folder on my Mac?
    here's the site I'm using:

    Hi Alan,
    Yes, I reformatted/erased the card.
    I'm wondering if there is a snag in how I need to get the downloaded new softeware from my computer to the card.  I have tried both dragging the zip file directly into the Palm folder and, opening it first and then dragging all items in.

  • How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

    How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

    The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
    You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

    Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

  • How can you get apple updates for apple like windows updates?

    where does apple gets its updates

    By default, Software Update will automatically check for updates on a regular basis.
    You can adjust what those settings are. To do that, choose System Preferences in the Apple menu; in the new window, click the icon for Software Update. The window will change to reflect the current settings for Software Update -
    You can change those settings if you wish.
    Note the selection button for "Installed Software" near the top of that window - if you click that, it will display a list of all software updates that have been installed.

  • I need help updating LR4 so I can import Nikon Df images. When I try to update, a message says, no new updates. How do I get new updates for LR4?

    I need to update LR4 so I can import Nikon Df images. When I try to update a message says there are no new updates. Please help?

    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    The latest update for LR 4 is version 4.4.1, you can download the appropriate install package from the links above.
    Unfortunately support for the Nikon Df was only included with LR 5.3, so the options are.
    1. Upgrade to LR 5.
    2. Utilize the free Adobe DNG Converter (the latest version is 8.8) to convert the nef files to DNG format and import the dng files into Lightroon 4. Good idea to retain your original raw files and do appropriate investigation into the uses of the DNG format.

    Here is their price today:
