    Second Neo's statement. The only program you want to use for visits to the Windows Update page is MSIE.

    I use my trusty Firefox for EVERYTHING ELSE. But I rely on that primitive and irritating "IE" to get me my Windows Updates.

    If IE doesn't do it for you, come back and we'll give you suggestions for resetting it, since you recently changed methods of connecting to the Net.
