newmarket2 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Just moved from a Vista laptop to a netbook. On the netbook (XP, asus eee, 2gb) I ran a Windows update via Firefox.There were 13 important updates and a few others, but nothing for outlook. That struck me as weird.Is there a setting to tell Windows updater that other apps are out there and might need updating?[ps have had no major problems running outlook] Edited October 17, 2009 by newmarket2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 And how did you run Windows Update through Firefox? I use Firefox 3.5.3 and this is what I get: Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.To use this site, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later.To upgrade to the latest version of the browser, go to the Internet Explorer Downloads website. As for Outlook 2003, the Junk Filter update is released and updated monthly, and updates for Outlook can also be filed under Security Update for Office 2003, for example. It takes some reading to find out which of the sub-products in Office they refer to.If you want both Windows and Office updates, then you must be using Microsoft Update, or Office Update just for your Office product. Of course, you can always manually search for specific updates in the Microsoft download section on their website.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
