General software updates

Well tell my hard drive to be detected by my motherboard. It's driving me nuts!

Rik · Mar 02, 2011, 13:04:49

Have you checked the BIOS is set to auto-detect?

Niall · Mar 02, 2011, 14:19:42

Yeah, I've done absolutely everything you can, including manually updating the bios as the cr*p Asus tool said mine was the latest when it was over 6 months out of date! I've just bought an external drive for backups now and an internal 500gb one as I'm hearing a click of death. I don't know if it's my main drive or the broken backup drive trying to spin up.

Rik · Mar 03, 2011, 10:23:41

How could you resist the Thunderbird joke, Alan?

Glenn · Mar 05, 2011, 09:14:08

Firefox 3.6.15 is now available

Rik · Mar 05, 2011, 09:16:44

Glenn · Mar 05, 2011, 09:17:55

Rik · Mar 05, 2011, 09:20:13

I wonder what the bug was.

Now if you were being Gary we'd get a paragraph and not one line about Adobe updates.

Well there is another 10.2 out now so 10.2 was updated to 10.2... naw I won't go on

Firefox 4 due out on 22nd March

Gary · Mar 17, 2011, 08:54:35

Hopefully Adobe will have fixed its less than 'flash' player by then. I'll install Firefox 4, the excitement never stops online

Rik · Mar 17, 2011, 09:00:56

I think I might just hold back a week or so, Glenn.

Simon · Mar 17, 2011, 12:17:37

I wonder how many more betas they'll squeeze in before the 22nd?

I updated to 3.6 when it first came out it seemed fine I'll probably do the same this time, live dangerously and all that

Steve · Mar 17, 2011, 13:56:40

Not that I use FF often but I've been on 4 for ages

Anyone having big probs on win updates of 26/4/10 (me for instance) should read this.

All updates done now but had to do them one at a time on a Win7/64, MS are a PITA at times!
