In Firefox, you clear cache with tools/clear recent history and click on cache and "clear now." Although I am skeptical that that alone is your issue.

To update to SP3, hit the windows icon, then windows update. If you are still on SP2, expect the updates to take a long time, although check on it every once and a while because it will likely need you to verify various steps along the way.

Someone please remind me how to clear my cache?  This is my old eMachines, running Windows XP Home 2002, SP 2, 1.8 GHz and 704 MB of RAM, 150-gig HD with only 19.1 gig used.  Running very, very slowly on a HughesNet connection -- even slower than the speed and RAM would seem to indicate.  Virus- and malware-free with MSSE and Malwarebytes for a backup.

Would also like to know how to get SP 3 and some other updates on here?  Notably I need MS Works Ver. 9x so I can transfer certain database files onto this computer from the HP notebook and actually print them.  M$ isn't much help.  Thanks in advance!
