How do I stop automatic updates? When 2.8 was updated, I couldn't get it
to work so deleted it and downloaded 2.7.2 and got it to work without
any problems. Wasted almost a whole day playing around. This morning I
got up and turned on the computer and again, the 2.8 update was there.
Luckily I knew what to do, not try to get 2.8 to work but delete it and
get on IE and download 2.7.2 again. I don't want to go through this
every morning...so need to stop the automatic updates.
Is there anyone else, beside me who can't get 2.8 to open?

Not sure if your experience is the same, but I've had a problem with
getting updates to work since somewhere in the 2.x series. Downloads and
"installs" o.k., but when I X out of the opening Release Notes page I
get a message "XUL Runner--Couldn't read application.ini." SM is dead at
that point, but downloading using IE (ugh!) delivers a working copy for
me.
Always save a copy of your profile, as this will save your sanity.
Always save a copy of the installer for the previous version (in your
present case 2.7.2) when you first get it, as this will save finding and
downloading it again if you need it.
