Re: [CGUYS] Windows Update i.e. IE 6, 7, 8
That's pretty vague. What problem exactly? Is there some update the app needs that you don't have? e.g. I can understand maybe needing a certain version of the .net framework. So why, if the problem involves McAfee and Windows Update, did you ask about updates to Internet Explorer? There's certainly nothing wrong with updating to IE8 _before_ installing McAfee. Are you getting some specific error from the installer? Is this a fresh install or is/was there old security software installed? What OS?

I checked my setting for Windows Update and, they are set properly. I just upgraded to IE 8. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Windows Update i.e. IE 6, 7, 8
Please tell me how to hide the update. It appears everytime I boot up. Or, should I just knuckle under and install the update? --- On Fri, 8/28/09, Sue Cubic scu...@earthlink.net wrote: From: Sue Cubic scu...@earthlink.net Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Windows Update i.e. IE 6, 7, 8 To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Date: Friday, August 28, 2009, 10:48 PM At 11:03 PM 8/28/2009 -0400, you wrote: Has anyone had trouble with Windows Update, when using any of those versions?

Re: [CGUYS] Windows Update i.e. IE 6, 7, 8
I'd be curious to know what the concern is regarding IE8 as opposed to anything else MS wants to install. Just because I have had it for a while, and was not aware of any unusual risk.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows Update i.e. IE 6, 7, 8
IE8 is considered an important security update. Install it. You may think you don't use it, but you might use parts of it when running other apps (e.g. Steam requires IE8 for previews). * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

That would seem logical. But, I haven't received any notices about an update, apart from IE8. So why, if the problem involves McAfee and Windows Update, did you ask about updates to Internet Explorer? There's certainly nothing wrong with updating to IE8 _before_ installing McAfee. I asked about IE8 because, I found several people on the Net, who had trouble with Windows Update after IE5. Are you getting some specific error from the installer? Is this a fresh install or is/was there old security software installed? What OS? I keep getting installation failure notices. The software is direct from Comcast's website.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows Update i.e. IE 6, 7, 8
Oddly, that brings back memories. As I recall, I couldn't install that one either. Seemed like a good deal, though I bet they would start charging for updates after a bit.
