New version of BT Broadband Desktop Help Installat...
I've been prompted to dowload and install a new version of BT Broadband Desktop Help for weeks and weeks. But it won't install - after 2 prompts to run it, the IE page says there is a problem and to try again later.
My next thoughts are to totally uninstall and then reinstall from scratch.
Any ideas? I am running Chrome and Vista Home Basic.
Solved!

Re: BT Broadband Desktop Help problem
I am new to this FORUM and as yet have not been able to find how to open a THREAD so I have taken this facility to post my query or should it be queries.
According to the BT.Com website the Broadband Desktop Help program functions with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Each of these have their own email client program, Outlook Express (XP), Windows Mail (Vista) and Windows Live Mail (Windows 7). These are all flagged as being functional with the Desktop Help program,
Several weeks ago one or two of my BT email addresses started to be flagged as being a problem and they were not confined to one PC. Checking the Properties of these addresses and comparing them with other BT email address I could not find any apparent difference in their properties.
Taking my PC which has been running XP and Outlook Express (OE) for a number of years without any apparent problems. The only thing that I had done was to add a couple of additional BT email addresses and I thought that the configuration with these may be the problem so I used the Desktop Help Program. This initially did not flag any problems with my setup of OE.
Thus I checked the email program on a PC running Vista with Windows Mail, this occasionally flagged different addresses failing. I also tried the same exercise of checking the email's on a PC running Windows 7, this also appeared to display a similar problem with the email addresses.
I believe that when a User setup an email address he basically enters a limited number of parameters and the remainder of the setting are preset for or by the Mail Server.
After trying to confirm all the properties across the email's client and could not find any reason for the dropouts I resorted to the use of the Desktop Help program in an attempt to resolve the problems.
With OE, sometimes when running 'TROUBLESHOOT EMAIL'S' I get a display notifying me that one of the addresses fail and the program offers to fix it. Taking this step the next display informs me that the .
'Diagnostic Check' was succesful, confirming that the Connection and email setting are correct.
I would be quite happy at this point except the display goes on to say ''We have fixed the following email settings' without any notification of wahat has been changed.
Seeing that XP and Vista have ceased to be supported by Microsoft, I wish to move up to Windows 7, thus the use of Desktop Help with these other Microsoft Windows version.
This is where another apparent problem exists with the program. When initiallising the program on either Vista or Windows 7 I am informed by the program that NO EMAIL CLIENT PROGRAM is installed. Selecting various links in the displays I get VERY CONFUSING dispays. With Vista the secong display informs me that I have 'Windows Mail 32 Bit installed.
Taking the recommended Support Path, contacting 0800 111 4567, I explain the problem to them along with the fact that an email address which functioned YESTERDAY and has done so for sometime has dropped out. The reaponse I get is can I go online to the BT-YAHOO Mail Server and access each of my Emails adresses, my reply is YES, rsponse there is no problem. Question, Why does the address dropout when using OE, response, we do not support OE.
The fact that not only does OE dropout and also BT Desktop Help flags a problem does not register with them that there is a problem.
Mentioning that Desktop Help has an apparent problem accross the Windows OS systems iis of no concern of them as it is a BT product and they are BT-YAHOO, which I would have thought would concern them.
When I have been able to get in touch with BT.COM about these apparent problems I am informed that no action will be taken because no other USER has flagged the problem.Your post has nothing to do with the BT Desktop help thread, would you like assistance with your broadband speed?
If so, then please start a new thread here BB Speed/Connection Issues

BT Broadband Desktop Help - Failure to launch
I have been trying to access my desktop help (initially installed from BT Infinity Disc) wtih no success, it would launch but several aspects would not permit me to see the relevant pages of help. So I checked online and saw I could download the program which I have now done. The new version won't launch at all. I get a script error coming up asking if I want scripts to run but when I click yes nothing happens.
I am running 64-bit windows 7 on my laptop which is having the desktop problems. On our main pc (windows XP) we have no issues at all.
This has all come to a head as I'm trying to network the printers on the pc with the laptop and I can't use the Broadband help wizard to connect them all together.
Any advice on how to resolve the help installation/launch would be apprieciated. I am going to try reloading it all from the disc to see if that makes any difference.try completing the steps below :-
Click start - All programs - BT Broadband Desktop Help - Uninstall (also look in add/remove programs)

BT Broadband Desktop Help Update ~ a problem.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post my question, but here goes:
In the past few days the following has occurred and I am finding it irritating, so I am hoping you can give me advice as to a cure.
I switch on my PC and a pop-up window appears, captioned BT Broadband Desktop Help Update, advising me there is an update available. I click OK and it downloads / installs the update. Finally the window advises the BT Broadband Desktop Help has been successfully updated and I click the Finish button.
However, the next time I switch on my PC I am once again advised it needs updating and I go through the whole routine again.
Question: how do I stop this happening?
BTW I do not want to uninstall the software as, in the past, it has been very helpful.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thank you for your continued interest in this matter.
Current situation: whem I switch on the PC I no longer get the pop-up window reminding me to update the s/w. However, if I run the s/w the IE page tells me I need to update, which I do but it still tells me to perform an update.
Thus I decided to uninstall the package (followed by a re-instal) and now find I can't carry this out using Add/Remove programs as it starts to remove and then freezes.
I am therefore going to make a fresh posting asking for an alternate method of uninstallation ~ I have carried out a Forum search but found nothing of any relevance. -

I keep receiving a B T pop-up advising me that a critical update is available for Broadband Desktop Help. When I click on update I get to a screen which tells me that "This update requires elevation, click on next to proceed". Clicking on next has no effect and nothing happens. Does anyone know why ?
