Hello:
Can anyone out there help this computer neophyte when it
comes to downloading software from Microsoft, etc. You
see, I can't access several web sites anymore because I
lack the proper level of security. 40 bit security came
with my computer from the manufacturer (compaq) Windows
98. Now I need to upgrade to at least 128 bit security
from Microsoft, but I simply don't know what to do to get
the job done - especially getting it done without any
glitches!
When I give instructions to download directly to the hard
drive, the usual dumping in the tray scenario takes place,
etc., and mission accomplished according to the screen.
THE QUESTION IS...am I done? is the upgrade now on the
hard drive and ready to go? Or, do I need to do something
else to integrate the upgrade into the system? Where does
or did it go and how do I activate it? Should I even
consider doing the downloading via floppy disk - or is
that not done nowdays? And even if I go that route, how
do I go about doing it from A to Z?
If any of you could help me with blow by blow
instructions, I sure would appreciate it. Also, please be
advised that I'm not computer savy or literate, but I can
follow your lead if you tell me what to do in plain
english.
Thanking you in advance for any help and/or suggestions
that any of you out there can provide me regarding my
dilemma...
Sincerely,
Barney
