| 1211417 | 2011-06-23 07:20:00 | will it work in WinXP? sorry, no. But FireFox does and is better in every way :-) |

| 1211419 | 2011-06-23 07:23:00 | try booting in to safe mode (to install the update), if i remember that would sometimes help | Boyd (14246) | ||
| 1211420 | 2011-06-23 07:24:00 | ok | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1211421 | 2011-06-23 07:24:00 | IE9 wont work in XP One thing you can try -- open a command prompt, type in net stop wuauserv (press enter) You should get a message saying update stopped navigate to C:\windows\SoftwareDisribution folder and delete it. Close all windows, open a command prompt, type in net start wuauserv I normally reboot just for the hell of it - Windows will create the folder again. Now manually run Windows updates, or manually download the KB and install it. Only down side is if you delete the SoftwareDisribution folder you wont be able to remove any previous updates. |

| 1211423 | 2011-06-23 07:48:00 | Not generally a problem. What happens sometimes is when windows updates download they "unpack" in the folder before installing, they also have the uninstall portion there. Sometimes they get "stuck" or damaged and no matter what you do they wont install. By removing the folder it gives a clean slate to work with as windows re creates the folder again. |
