Re: Dowload updates from hp.com

I'll take your word for it. Maybe the problems I had were specific to the
router I have from my ISP, but when I turned off windows firewall they went
away. It didn't like McAfee firewall, either, but I'm getting rid of that
before installing any other software. I'm still trying to decide between AVG
and Avast for free AV until my ISP's software becomes Vista Compatible! LOL
