Windows XP; Rec'd std windows explore window urging updated 21 FF w/link + buttons. not the usual style view, so has not clicked. is it legitimate?
I run windows XP on PC. A window Explorer windows asking me to update Firefox 21 popped up. The window includes a link 'more info' and a 'remind me later' and 'install' button. Never seen this style of notification before anything so I clicked and rejected the window. Is this a legitimate firefox notification? Otherwise, what have I been invaded by, and how should I proceed?
Hello, it is difficult to judge what was going on by the description only - in case it happens again, please try to create a screenshot of the dialog in question and attach it to an answer in the forum here...
in any case, firefox 21 was released last week and you must indeed upgrade to the latest version. Just go to firefox > help > about firefox to find and apply the update.
Update to the latest version of Firefox

D1G64UA: Windows 10 update fails due to no space in the recovery Partition
Try to upgrade Windows to Windows 10 8.1 upgrade fails due to insufficient space in the recovery on the D: drive Partition
The size of the recovery Partition is configured at installation of the HP factory and it leaves only about 3 GB, which is insufficient for the upgrade of Windows 10 start the upgrade begins by creating files in the recovery Partition.
I don't want to remove the Windows 8.1 recovery files that already exist on the D: Partition of Recovery of the construction of the plant and in fact, I don't think that the o/s will allow me to delete these files from recovery.

Windows firewall won't start, 6801 Code error in the event log viewer
When I try to start my windows firewall manually it just says that it cannot be run.
I checked dependencies of firewall are running via services.msc
(CPP) Remote procedure call is started and set to automatic
DCOM Server process Launcher also started and set to automatic
These are the only 2 mentioned in the tree of dependencies.Ive tried going into regedit according to the http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/754147.htm
But could never find the % query defined values, they have mentioned that only how to make them.Program installed Antivirus is ESET 4.0 with firewall.
Tried to disable all the services start and no microsoft via msconfig services, but the firewall still does not start.My system is running Windows Vista Premium.
I have no idea why the firewall just quit on me, I turned it off when I installed ESET smart security 1-2 years back.
I've been juggling start services to try to make my computer faster startup could be something I did.
I even tried their activation at unsuccessfully.Im going to do a full analysis of the Virus to see if it could be the culprit, but its highly unlikely it seems.
No matter which entry of the Forumites here would know it that I really need to get the windows firewall service starts to install my drivers for the new printer I just bought
(part of his installation required to start the windows firewall to configure, when it fails it cant complete the installation)I solved it thnx to DaGreenOne,
It wasn't enough to just disable the ESET firewall,
You must completely uninstall the ESET program to the windows firewall to work again. -
Windows Live Update and now GTA IV do not load.
Whenever I try to load either from the desktop computer, or directly to the release of the album I just get the message saying that GTA IV has stopped working, no other information. Don't have the two disks in this House at the moment so if there is a way to fix without having to do a reinstall, which would be very convenient. I use Vista but do not know if this is the problem as it worked fine before the update.

Why Windows 7 SP1 Digital River download links do not work?
This morning, I tried to download a copy of Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate and it shows me:
The Page or file you requested cannot be provided
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Error HTTP 404 - file or directory not found.What should I do now?
Hello
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.
If you have Windows 7 preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) Contact the manufacturer of your computer for the recovery disks.
They need to ship at low cost.
See you soon.

Fucking hell, if MS let's all suppliers who has download products assign and distribute their own download manager for their own products, the operating system will become an another big mess! I love the Logictech products but I see absolutely no reason under the Sun why Windows Update should offer Download Wizard from Logitech! Since I'm not aware of how simply remove a Windows Update product otherwise which I hid it. I hope that the next time I look to see what I've hidden it will be gone.
And while I'm on it... I hate really getting into so many downloads today to be a sort of detective to make sure that you click on the button to download just what you are looking for in order to avoid download or get tangled in something not looking. Even once you install a downloaded product, you must uncheck one or more varieties of the unwanted special browser menus.
So far I am concernied that this fit under 'dirty advertising' and so far I'm good enough to take my time to make things of course, I want to be unchecked! Shame on the industry.

Windows 8 update took as much memory or not?
There are (like 4 days ago) from a few days I have 122 GB of free space on my laptop. When I closed the computer, the only option I had was "SHUT DOWN and UPDATED" and 'RESTART & UPDATE' so I chose stop & update... It took long hours updated... My installation was 13 of 17 and he did not move during these hours. So I decided to force shut down my computer.
When I turned on my computer, I now only have 116 GB of free space... I thought that maybe the update ate as much memory. But a few minutes later, he went to 114 and 113 GB... I have not installed any other software or downloaded any file that would run up to 1 GB. I don't have.
So today, yet have not download anything, I only 104 GB left! Can anyone help? Why I feel this kind of question. Thank you.

Windows 8 for Windows xp update fails at 90% and does not start.
I read the below and see if there are solutions.
I paid for 1 hour to help Microsoft Tech to take on my desktop computer and at the end
He said there are so many chat lines, he could not follow after clicking on install.
He beat anything, antivirus, I disconnected all devices except the mouse and keyboard.
Of course the update, which I downloaded and confirmed with their diagnosis that the
computer has been updated failed 90% and would not restart.
When I went to system logs, I even tried to disable restore.
Nothing helps.
I think there must be something which is not allow restarting after installation.
The message just says: failed to install. No diagnosis or whatever it is.
If a Microsoft technology, which grabbed my computer couldn't do work I'm close to trying to get
my money back and stopped a complete package. I don't have to Microsoft backup disk, which
I'll try again.Once again: problem is installation of Windows 8 reaches 90% and then only will fail.
... Install only Windows 8 reaches 90% and then fails.
Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade a Windows XP-based computer or install Windows 8 (.1).
