jato Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I am helping a friend with a computer that they were given from their workplace. Work was upgrading to new machines. It is a pentium 4 with XP Pro on it. My problem is that i have notice a few oddball things. The main one that is confusing me is that when I open IE7 it trys to do that runonce thing....seems to download things then just presents me a white page with nothing at all on it. If i go into the address bar and put in another site it goes there no problem. Then when I navigate to the window update site again I just get a white page with nothing on it. I'm not a it Pro and I'm not use to XP Pro but I wonder is there possibly some settings that might be set to prevent a workplace user from updating the computer? I did notice that when tried to uninstall Norton it asked me for a uninstall password. Any ideas would be a help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Welcome to the Windows Forum.Try this link for Microsoft Update: http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftu...v6/default.aspx; it works better than the old Windows Update site.As for Norton - you may need to go to the Symantec website and download the uninstall tool. I don't have the download location; maybe someone else here can provide it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
