Update

[Enceladus]

1.  Each month HP declares urgent updates are available.  I agree and the installation begins.  Every installation receives a red x and the note installation cancelled.

Hp then asks if I would like to send feedback.  Monthly I respond.  Hp does not. 

2.  After installing IE 8, I noticed that I no longer can use chat support, "Browser Not supported."    Can you help me get back to a point that I can use chat suppor?

3. I have started up in minimum mode, turned offf all but vital processses and services and still computer dropsout and freezes and hangs up.  I need to be able to control any background operations.  Using home studio cakewalk  software used to be a dream until I got this hp.  Can you suggest any more ways I can turn background operations off so that dropouts will not occur?

Thank you.

What PC do you have? We need a product number and/or model number.  There are sometimes updates to the HP Update program that resolve the first issue.

Don't use IE8 and stick to IE7 for now ebcause it's more stable and compatible.

IF HP Updates don't go through go to hp.com, search for your pc model/product number and it will give you the drivers and downloads section will a list of updates starting the top and you can download and install individually.

HP doesn't come with updates very often.

In I.E. 8 on the right side of the window click TOOLS>Compatibilty View Settings> and at the bottom check Display all websites in compatibilty view.

I.E. 8 is way more stable then I.E.7. Since I installed it I have had no I.E. hangups or crashes.
