Whenever ready.

I'm trying to run a windows update, but it says that I need to run it w/explorer. Is it not possible to run a microsoft update using firefox?

 

[Broni]

No........

 

[Broni]

The issue seems to be resolved.

Thanks, Broni. My computer has gained some speed, but is still somewhat slow. Do you recommend adding more memory?

 

[Broni]

Absolutely. As I said before...
You have only 256MB of RAM.
XP will run much better with at least 512MB of RAM. 1GB would be perfect.
