| 397830 | 2005-10-20 03:45:00 | Hi are you ready...ok I ran a diagnostic program belzaric or something like that and it brought to notice all these hotfixes that need attention. I run Windows Xp and assumed that I could find these on the microsoft web site. After searching for some of these nothing! They are as follows: q816093- Critical q873333- important. q873339- imp. q885258-crit. there are like eleven others I'm not sure as to what is the next direction that I should take, this is my first ever posting so's I hope I've followed appropriate etiquette. Thanking you in advance |

| 397831 | 2005-10-20 04:59:00 | What you are refering to is Belarc Adviser . . . and it does a pretty good job of finding broken or incorrectly installed hot fixes from M$ . Go to the Windows Catalog area (On IE, unfortunately) and type the fix number in the browser they provide . There will be a wealth of info there to chose from for each and every bad download or incomplete install . Please post back with your successes/failures for further help . . . . . . |

| 397833 | 2005-10-20 06:00:00 | Speedy: I think the fact that the hotfixes didn't "take" the first time makes it a little hard to just goto the update area and try again . I went this route a few times with them and finally found I had to get each and every one by themselves, hot booting after every one and then going for another . Sometimes, I had to leave one off till the others got in . . but that's just my experience . I vowed to never let my updates get late ever again . . . and things are running happily every after . . . so far! I personally think the catalog area is a better choice . . but it might be a little scarey to a newbee . The one thing I did learn is that when you are in the catalog area . . . . . . . you gotta read everything . . . and I mean EVERYTHING they post . . . . . . . . . . . it makes a big difference if you get the wrong file . Wondering why M$ makes it so hard . . . what with cryptic error messages and phrases that like another post on another subject said "Things that were written by the writers of the Goon Show" . . . . or something to that order . It ain't easy . . and the learning curve gets more obtuse all the time . Time to get out our prayer shawls and let the powers that be know we want Google to take over the internet . |

| 397835 | 2005-10-20 06:03:00 | BTW: It took me six attempts to get this post to "post". Did someone forget to wind up the server again or did the sun just go behind a cloud in NZ? |

| 397836 | 2005-10-20 06:05:00 | ...and sorry for what I see now is a double post...but I still say it was slow electrons! | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 397837 | 2005-10-20 06:07:00 | ? I cant see anything about it not working the first time . Oh well good luck . My previous post, and the main sites, work fine here . I usually go to the download site, and download whatever fix . Saves me going to windowsupdate, to get the same file twice, for the 2 PC's here . |
