  Updates are not related to series numbers, so you must have done something compared to try to use an upgrade rather than an update.  Adobe not revise older versions of their software to adapt to the latest hardware/devices.  They create/sell new versions of their software for it.  If you subscribe to the Cloud at some point you shouldn't have a problem with the software becomes obsolete.

• How can I download FF for Windows 7 on Linux and CD machine?

  The Windows machine is new and without a connection to the internet. It is only on a private network. In the past, I could select the Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Firefox for Windows, download it here and create a CD. The CD has been used to install Firefox on the Windows machine. It has served me flawlessly for several years.
  The main download page decides now that I can only download a version of Linux. The download page for the languages and systems does not allow selection of English-United States.
  Is there a trusted site where I could download Firefox for Windows 7 (32 bit), preferably worm. 26.0?

• I'm more able to download updates for Windows, including individual KBs.

  All the updates stopped IE8 download, as well as all the downloads from Windows Update, 5 days ago on XP machine.  Worked perfectly before.  Have tried everything including the individual download KBs.  Nothing works.  Windows Installer is set to automatic and is enabled.  Can't find solution proposals.

  Original title: update download problems

  Howdy Vernon,

  No, don't run any FixIt.

  Instead, follow these steps:

  Tap Start > type cmd > and press ENTER to get a command prompt

  type in
  net stop wuauserv 

  Go to Windows Explorer.
  Look on your system (usually C) drive and see the name of the Windows folder. Like Windows or WINNT.
  Edit following as appropriate.
  If your Windows folder is C:\Windows.  Look at this file
  C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

  If you find files in there, remove them.  This file is where the Windows Update files are stored downloads.

  Return to the command prompt window.
  type in
  net start wuauserv 

  OUTPUT

  Restart the system and then run manually check the updates in Windows Update, etc, etc...
  When you get to Windows Update, a custom scan updates. Take (accept) those marked critical or Important.
  Those that are marked as "optional" decline.
   
  Have infinite patience so that it scans and it's work.
   
  When you are prompted to restart Windows, please do. Allow it to restart.

• can I remove atomatic updates for windows?

  Does anyone know for absolute certainty if you can remove the automatic updates of 3 years without it harming your computer, because I was told don't not delete the but geez, they take a lot of space, and if they are updated does not update on the oldest?

  Remove the old Windows updates: -.

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.
