Can I update my computer, download the updates to a flash drive and then install it on my computer when I go?
Hi all!
I have 2 updates to download an install on my computer. But the problem is I have a dial-up internet access and the size of the combined file is about 264 MB. At this size, it will take several days to fully downloaded. My average download speed is slower than a snail to 2 KB/s.
Now my current options are:
1) download in small sections of every day. That I started to do. about 2 to 5% to 10% or slightly more.
(2) downloadable on a flash drive using my local library computers. Then come home and install the download on my computer.
(3) wait 2 weeks until we get the bundled package incudes cable, phone and high speed internet 5 MB download download/800 KB.
I need 1 update to hopefully help with some problems I am with my computer. From IE7 to IE8 will solve most of these problems if all goes well!
What do you recommend I do?
You can.
For example, here is the download link for the 32-bit version of Vista Service Pack 2 standalone version:
You can download/save it to CD/Flash Drive > take home > install it.
You will need the KB updates of security number you need to download (from your own scanning system), and you have to get the right to qualify for the operating system (Vista xxxxxxxx).

It can be a bit tricky if you're not used to doing.

I have XP. When I drop to the bottom of the display, toolbar, customize, it loads a new page white once, then later, I have to reload firefox to try again with the same results. I've updated my flash drive. Don't know what to do to fix this.
You can try to start Firefox in Mode safe to see if Firefox works correctly without error? You can start Firefox in Mode safe below:
- Windows/Mac: choose Help > restart with disabled modules
- Linux: run firefox-safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens fine with no problems, it is probably one of your extensions that is causing the problem. You can reactivate your modules one by one until you find the one that is causing the problem to be re-activated.

Looking for import bookmarks from one computer to another.
Yes, there is a way. Open the Bookmark Manager (it is Ctrl + Shift + B), go to import and backup (it must be something like that. My Firefox is not in English, so I'm not sure on names). In this menu, you can either create a backup file that can be transferred to your laptop computer or export your bookmarks in HTML format , then import this HTML file on the laptop.
Hope, I managed to help :) -

Hi dynamitenews
1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
2. what happens when you try to start the computer?You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.
Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questionsIf nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
BIOS WARNING-
Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.I hope this helps.
