During the installation a separate window pops up giving assistance for running the program. One of the "Suggestions" is to do an UPDATE and I do click on that the main page of S&D opens and I click on "UPDATE" and (according to instructions I should get a second page opening) I do not get any search of update or anything. It does nothing. Even if I RUN the probram and click UPDATES it does not proceed to checking for an update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it does not seem to help me at all. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Thanks |

How to Update with Updater
If you encounter any error messages while downloading the updates, manually download them from here. This post has been edited by quietman7: Mar 20 2008, 12:35 PM -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"

Thank you, quietman7, for the fast reply.
I have followed that "updater" procedure before and I just tried it again. When I click on UPDATE or SEARCH for UPDATES nothing happens. It does not do one thing. It just sits there. I did download the manual file link you gave and it did run and I applied it to the file. But I am unable to click or UPDATE or the other one and get it to go look for an update. |
