I am still getting notices to update to 2 . 0 . 0 . 6 on one of my puters . . and it then tells me that cannot get it installed because of . . well here's a C/P of the notice: One or more files could not be updated . Please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files, and then restart Firefox to try again . OK . . so I have four computers all running identical anti-stuff, firewalls, through the same router and XP-Pro/SP2 with all the latest updates except for WMP11 . I've Googled the problem and there is a general consensus that it's Spybot as the culprit . All the puters have exactly the same settings in Spybot . . the permissions and the start-ups, etc, etc . How can that be if ALL the others have gotten the update successfully but not this tower? Is there some reason why the IP #'s xxx . xxx . x . 100, -102, -103 can get the updates and xxx . xxx . x . 101 cannot? Is there a hidden agenda in Spybot that protects the master on the router and lets the slaves get the updates without raising an eyebrow?	SurferJoe46 (51)

But, is your difficulty in upgrading to FF 2.0.0.6 Linux or Windows based? The latest OS that I am using is PCLinuxOS 2007 and it has, amongst its repositories, both Firefox 2.0.0.6 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6. Installed each via Synaptic and they are both working like a charm. Picked up my bookmarks, address book, and message storage location perfectly. The theme that I prefer, Noia Extreme was also incorporated into each. Happy hunting, Jim:thumbs:	Hhel (8073)

580553	2007-08-14 00:02:00	Speedy One . . . That's what I did, and it worked that way . . . but I STILL don't understand the selectiveness of it not going to this puter (SOYO/AthlonXP; XP-Pro/SP2) and having no problems going to the Dells that are equally set up . . except with P-3s and P4s . Even that rusty old Compaq had no troubles with it . . just this one did! Oh well . . . . . :xmouth: Hhel . . . . This SOYO is also a Linux/XP dual-boot, but with Ubuntu; the server unit (Dell P-3, 750), which is NOT online, is Mepis . . . and running quite well I might add . . although I have no understanding WHY! Good fortune, I think or accidentally at most .	SurferJoe46 (51)
