Updates are always safe to download and install on my computer?
After you receive the message that I have updates to download and install, is ALWAYS completely safe to do? With my last PC, I got a typical announcement, completely legitimate-looking that I had "several important updates" that I needed to download and install. I have had these ads before on the necessary updates and always took the lead with download and install them. BUT after the download and installation of these special "updates", my computer was completely dead and never worked again - I couldn't even get it to blue screen! Absolutely no response when I turned it on. Since there was nothing wrong with it before these "updates", I can't help but conclude that some of these "updates" are not only wrong, but also deadly!
Hello
Yes always install updates. They solve the problems of security and improve the stability of Windows. If you have any problems, create a new question and we can help you solve these issues :)

What is a torrent file and and is? is it safe to download and install it on my PC?
original title: torrent file
What is a torrent file and and is? is it safe to download and install it on my PC?
Hello foxtrait,
Torrent is a small file (around), which contains all the information needed to download a file for that torrent was made. This means that it contains names of files, their sizes, where to download and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on a lot of websites and torrent search engines.
Torrent is the most popular way to download large files, including movies and games (remember legality of downloading).
If you ask me if it is safe, it depends on the source it comes from. All torrents come from different sources.
You will need a torrent client to use torrents. I suggest that you use your favorite search engine and look for customers if you want to install it.

How to download and install on another computer without internet connection?
I have an old computer with windows XP Home Edition. How to download and install on another computer without internet connection? Files such as DirectX, real player, Media Player. What I find it just download and install the file must then go to the internet.
The following site may be worth a visit:

the research you should be able to find the full downloads. You can
Talk about the size of the file if you get the full download.For Microsoft files... it can help search for developer files

I bought the creative cloud composition and downloaded and installed on my computer. I tried to configure Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, where he asked me my user name, organization, and serial number. They never gave me an option to add a user name or the organization previously, so I don't know what to put in these areas. I am also unable to find my serial number. I have received no email with a serial number in it and the list of products registered in Plans and section of my account page says "you have not saved products. Could - a member of staff if you please advise me about the installation of my product? I need the installation to download a school assignment in the next two days. Thank you in advance.
Since this is an open forum, not Adobe support... you must contact Adobe personnel to help

Windows is preventing me to download and install games on computer.
Hidden object games are blocked by Windows saying that they are corrupted files or missing something. Whenever I get a somewhat different message. The games that I downloaded and installed previously are too blocked. I'm pretty much computer illiterate so I can't be more specific, but I called so-called experts and they have not been able to solve this problem. As I have not had any problems for a year, that I do not understand why it started to happen. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and the same thing is happening on it. Other types of computer games do not do this.
Maria,
It is certainly a strange situation. Let us know the results of trying to install it on your other computer. If possible try my suggestion to download it from a PC and a completely different location and put it on a disk or usb drive. Copy it to your PC, and then try to install it.

Update automatic failure - Unable to download and install KB2586918
original title: failure of the Auto-Update
For several days, the following several times could not download & auto-install. I previously never had a lot of trouble with the Windows updates for automatic installation. What I do, or is it still important? If it is not important, how this specific update stop return several times? The following will not auto-install: update MS .net framework 2.0 sp2: windows xp x 86 (kb2586918); MS outlook update ' o3 filter junk e-mail (kb2586918).
Shannon,
You have me. I am a daughter of Vista. And that shouldn't make a difference.
I am aware that information looks outdated, but there are many of these supporting documents that contain information that still applies to Windows 7.
Your suggestions of what needs to be done must be heard. However, I would like you to take a look at this document and when you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see "Contact a technician of technical support by e-mail, online, or by phone." Your suggestions will be heard.

Firefox said I need to update, but it will not download and install?
Try software update for Firefox. Window, said it is trying to download, but it does not connect to the update server.
Download and save the installer of Firefox on the desktop and start the installation with a double click on the desktop icon.
You can find the latest version of Firefox in all languages and for all systems operating here:
- Firefox 18.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupt downloaded files or otherwise interferes with the download of files.
Try disabling analysis in real time (live) files in your software anti-virus temporarily to see if that makes working download.See:

Update takes a while to download and install
In fact my 32-bit Windows 7 pc takes a long time to update also shows 0% UPDATING progress, but my internet connection is on that I know not what is happening in fact for a long time, that I was not downloading updates up-to-date, but for the upgrade to windows 10 that it is mandatory to install and download previous updates so I'm waiting for the progress bar to complete, but it is stuck at 0%...
Working on it Right-click on the icon Get Windows 10 in the Notification area
Click go to Windows Update.
Click Start.
----------------------------
If it does not upgrade to Windows 10, click Show all updates available, then see Upgrading to Windows 10 (Home or Pro), click OK, and then click Start.
----------------------------
If the upgrade is not available, wait a few days and try again. Once you click Start, the installation will begin. You will need administrator permission to continue. The installation should take about an hour (according to the FAQ). Once installation is complete, Windows 10 should install successfully.

Please be aware, even if you do not get the Windows 10 app, you can always download Windows 10 as one. ISO file, create a bootable copy and update your system.
See the instructions: How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
