Not just AV issues.<br /> Also, they may improve the OS itself. Make it a bit faster, things like that. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3/page/2#post-99201 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:21:34 +0000 hollyoaks777 99201@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>what if the updates dont let you on the internet.Like what happened to me ,how am i supposed to find out and could you please tell me why updates are so important.Is it not enough that you have a good antivirus/spyware up to date or is that not enough.As i said before i ran xp for 2 year with no updates and didn't have a problem.<br /> thank you in advance </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3/page/2#post-99182 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:55:45 +0000 LH 99182@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>One thing I will add. It may take a bit longer than the next day. The updates in different countries arrive on different days. But all within 4 or 5 days of Update Tuesday. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99180 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:47:05 +0000 ColinAirlie 99180@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>No bother. :)</p> <p>Col </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99178 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:31:40 +0000 LH 99178@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Col.

I'm guessing something similar to that LH? If you google the update number then you'll find lots and lots of info on it, including posts regarding it on forums.</p> <p>Ta,</p> <p>Col </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99175 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:58:38 +0000 hollyoaks777 99175@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>what do you mean by rush and does google tell you what updates are causing problems.<br /> thank you in advance </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99160 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:38:24 +0000 LH 99160@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>A good indication is a sudden rush of similar problems appearing after update day, on sites like this one. But I generally just google the update number and see what's new out there. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99157 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:10:01 +0000 hollyoaks777 99157@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok mate thank you, i have managed to solve the problem by doing a complete reinstall.But i would like to know where you find out if updates are causing problems before you install them. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99049 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:44:14 +0000 LH 99049@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>holly. Set them to inform you, but not install. Then hang on a week or so to see if there is any problems with any of the updates. If no probs, install. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-99046 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:39:42 +0000 hollyoaks777 99046@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>can windows updates cause problems, as i am thinking of turning them off.In my old xp computer i never installed 1 update and had no problems at all. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-98977 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:54:42 +0000 hollyoaks777 98977@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i do that at speedtest.com is that the same thing you are talking about.Its vista i am running sorry </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ie7-3#post-98971 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 11:00:59 +0000 ispalten 98971@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This sounds like your DNS was re-set possibly. If you PING the site you are trying to go to in a COMMAND PROMPT, what output do you get?</p> <p>For instance, if you are trying to go to <a href="http://WWW.CNN.COM" rel="nofollow">WWW.CNN.COM</a> and get the error, go to START MENU and open COMMAND PROMPT and enter "PING <a href="http://WWW.CNN.COM" rel="nofollow">WWW.CNN.COM</a>" (use the one that you get an error at) and is if it 'finds' the site.</p> <p>You should see something similar to this, </p> <p>C:\&gt;ping <a href="http://www.cnn.com" rel="nofollow">www.cnn.com</a><br /> Pinging <a href="http://www.cnn.com" rel="nofollow">www.cnn.com</a> [157.166.255.18] with 32 bytes of data:</p> <p>The IP address shows in the brackets and indicates the DNS has found the site. If it doesn't find it, you don't get the address.</p> <p>It is also possible the INTERNET OPTIONS were reset to such a setting that cause this, check the SECURITY, PRIVACY, and CONTENT and make sure those setting make sense to you. Check the buttons to see additional settings as well.</p> <p>Irv </p>
