  Should I turn off my Anti virus software is what could be stopping my updates? some sites would sugest that I use Kaspersky 2012, if that's the case, then why do all my other programs that are installed to date OK?

  Hello

  Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

  .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

  So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

• Cannot update Windows Media Player security update

  I tried to download a book from library using Overdrive and it wouldn't work.  He said that I needed to update the Media Security Update window.  I did and I said OK to download the file, it gave me a message saying "a security upgrade is required to play this file. You want to download this update? "I said yes and he gave me a message stating:"the date of the certificate is invalid or has expired"the only option was to close or web assistance.  Help Web lacked all of the solutions and close terminated the option and left me in the same situation as before.  Any ideas on how I can get past this so I can down load books from library.
