Unable to download/Install

=?Utf-8?B?TWFydGlu?=

On my other laptop (OS=MS XP) I cannot download ANY programs. Sometimes I do
get as far as a partial down load, but then it won't install. I am using IE7
and kept updates up to date, but now when I try to download anything I get
the same problem. When I investigate further error message says 'Download
updates for NVidia Graphics Driver' but I have done this and seem to have the
latest drivers. A friend of mine is having a similar problem, and finds she
can't even get updates. Do you think this could be a virus or some other
problem?

Are you talking about Windows Update or other types of downloads? You ask
about a possible virus. Do you have competent AV software that is up to
date? What does a full scan in safe mode tell you? *What* program is telling
you to download graphics driver updates?

When you gather the information, post back to an appropriate Windows XP
group. This is a .NET programming group.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the Windows XP category, then find a group there to post in.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
