Hi,
I recently had my hard drive scrubbed to get rid of a virus.then had my operating system=(windowsme)reinstalled.now because me is so old,microsoft doesn't support it anymore.the problem is I'm facing a catch 22,my windows explorer wont work because I don't have the updates,or patches that came in updates while me was current.I know the updates are still out there.but explorer just causes the sreeen to fuzz out(it goes to grey lines)when I try to open a page.have left computer online,and set windows to automatic update,but does nothing even on overnight.I now log on using firefox browser.but when I go to windows update,its says you have to run internet explorer to download windows.can anyone help??tell me how to get updates?followed microsoft support to set js script and ad tags but one msscript.oxc. failed.still can't get updates.
