  Hi CJC62,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

  What version of the operating system is installed on your computer?

  Assuming that it's Windows XP, here is some information on the Internet Explorer that comes with Service Pack 3 (SP3). SP3 for XP will continue to ship with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and it contains a roll-up updates of security for IE6. If you still use Internet Explorer 6, then XP SP3 will be offered to you via Windows Update as a high priority update. You can safely install XP SP3 and have an updated release of IE6 with all your personal preferences, such as homepages and Favorites, still intact.

  For more details on Internet Explorer that comes with the SP3 of XP see

• Installation of new add-on doesn't work and causes some add-ons do not want to work more.

  When I tried to install an addon, it downloaded and tells me to restart Firefox, which I did. However, when I opened the menu of the addon, addon was not there. In addition, some (and some) addons like Adblock Plus, has stopped working. I tried reinstalling the addon, and she said that she had installed (with no need to reboot). I opened the menu addon again, and the addon was there and said it was activated, but it did not work. When I clicked on the Options button, Firefox froze in a funny way: my mouse wouldn't click anywhere on the window, but I could still scrolling with the wheel, handle tabs with keyboard shortcuts and type in the address bar and other areas. I have rebooted, deleted the addon, rebooted again and finally ABP started working again and everything was back to normal. I tried with several different addons, and it behaved exactly the same way every time. Anyone know what is happening?

  Hello

  You can try to delete the extensions.* files in the Firefox profile folder right out of Firefox. To open the profile via Firefox folder: help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information > view folder.

  Files & Firefox profile folder

  It would also be a good idea to install the extension or other extensions via Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons, box top-right search, or AMO.

  You should also make sure that security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) are not interfering.

  Unable to install add-ons

  Cannot install extensions or themes

  Troubleshooting extensions and themes

  If the problem persists, you can also reset Firefox and start over.

  The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
  Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

  To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

• my pc is Windows xp. but I up grade to windows7 and I want to register with microsoft. can I use the same disc if I reboot my pc?

  help me with this plese...

  It is not clear what you're asking. Next time please put your question - with enough detail to be clear - in the body of the message, not on the subject line.

  I interpret your message to mean:

  1. you have a computer with Windows XP.
  2. you're going to buy a Windows 7 upgrade, using the Windows XP install like materials for upgrading qualification.
  3. you want to know if you can use the Windows XP license on another computer.

  If I interpreted your message correctly, the answer is 'no '. The Windows XP license is subsumed under the license of Windows 7 when you use it for an upgrade.

  If this wasn't what you meant, please clarify. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  I have an older version of Windows XP version 1.0 on a computer in November 2001 of the gateway that I have updated all offers updates of material such as BIOS and motherboard.  Then to the service pack 2 update so I can load an antivirus software which does not load unless you have SP2 or later version.  It loads like a champ and restarts, but Windows does not start normally, I have to start in safe mode and remove SP2.  Is there a driver error that I need to find?  Or is there an other update I need before SP2 for such an old version of windows?

  Relax and breathe.

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

  You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  Hi Electrocuteud,

  You have access to a Windows Vista installation disc? If so, follow the steps in this document to perform an InPlace upgrade. This will reinstall Vista without making any changes to the files and programs on the computer. Even if your data and programs must be safe, it is always advisable to make sure that you have a recent backup before major changes on the computer.

  Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

  Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

  Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

  Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.
