Hi List,

I finally got around to installing Internet Explorer 7.0--so nicely provided 
by Bob --I believe it was.

Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.  When I click start 
menu/windows Update, the page starts loading and then hangs.  Now I did get 
a plug-in for Firefox at a website that says it is able to check for the 
Windows Updates and it says I have them all currently.  I don't even know if 
this is legitimate, but other sites reference it--including those associated 
with Firefox.  I'll have to hope that I am receiving correct information 
from Firefox and this plug-in--until someone is able to help with the issue 
or suggest some sort of alternative action that will make Internet Explorer 
7 work with the Windows Update Page.

I do have automatically download and install updates turned on and as I say 
Firefox tells me that I am up to date. Who knows!

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI, the website for the Firefox plug-in is http://windizupdate.com.
