Are you getting your updates from the HP or Microsoft or Intel websites?

Isn't there an update button in control panel or on the Start menu list, that will automatically go to the right place and download & install the needed updates? So you don't need to do anything other than click a yes?

Oh, are you using Windows XP, Vista or Win 7??


They should have help sections on most of those sites.

I would try to re download it and the computer may tell you it already has a copy & where to find it - or use the Search on your Start menu button to locate the lost downloaded file.

I haven't updated my FF because of incompatibility to my Zone Alarm force field browser security.
plus I like the "Old" FF layout better anyway.. using the 3.6.18 version


For the files & stuff clean up - I would get a few flash drives and copy most of her things on to those.
Or you could get a external hard drive that plugs in with a USB plug and copy the files over that way to save them.
then you can delete them off the computer and have more free space.
