windows xp
I got a message of a live update that took a long time to
download and then given an option to install now or later. I clicked install later and turned off the computer. Now I can't find where that update is in order to install it. Also, I called tech support for my computer and was told never to install updates for Windows XP since the updates could predate what I already have and cause a problem so that I would have to reinstall windows. I find it hard to believe that I should never update Windows XP. Whne I went to windows update it tells me there are critical updates to be installed. Any idea what i should do. |

You have some dumb tech support idividual. If you downloaded an update and
cannot now find it perhaps you can begin downloading it again. When you get the window showing where the download will be stored--stop-- write it down then cancel the download. Go to that location and see what is there. I hope you are using the Windows update site because it 'reads' whats on your system and will only send you needed updates so you won't get updates that 'precede' what you have. Option 2. Forget about what was downloaded and go to the WU site (windows update) I.E. Click on windows update. wrote in message ...
