    Thanks for your help guys, believe it or not it has updated since I last looked today. Getting a bit paranoid I think!

    Go to Start, all programs and click on Windows Updates at the top. I do it this way as I use F/Fox.You will go to the microsoft update page, select the recommended Express install and sit back and wait. Theres probably about 20 you need to download and install.

    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • Does installing Firefox 1.5 mean that you have to reset everything or is it done automatic. I'm running Firefox and XP pro, but it seems to be carrying out a complete install rather than an update.
    Thanks

    You can always update windows via Internet Explorer, Tools, Windows Update.
    Even if you use Fire Fox.

    Just tried doing windows update as described above, never tried it that way before, and everything locked up!
    I normally run windows update from the control panel, which in my case works every time.
    PS I am running FF1.5
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
