Hi everyone,
I'd be really grateful for your thoughts/advice on a problem I can't seem to get round.
A brief history of my laptop required,soz;My laptop was on XP then the driver died.Due to lack of cash,the only replacement I could afford was a Vista driver. This functions very adequately except...updates cannot be installed,an error message pops up when I try to install Service Pack 2(which I seem to need now to access my yahoo account as I can't install IE9). What does this all mean & is there owt I can do to fix?.
Thankyou so much for reading.

An error message usually means an error has occured....updates cannot be installed,an error message pops up when I try to install Service Pack 2. What does this all mean & is there owt I can do to fix?
Without knowing what the error message says, I don't think it's possible to diagnose the problem further.0 -
