        windows xp professional

        AVG, so I think he means he has the windows firewall

        wireless 8mb download, BT broadband

        and on the Internet Explore website it says he doesn't have the right service pack to install Internet 7

        Ps FireFox's works on his computer

        Without SP2 on that machine he won't be able to repair/re-install IE...
        Sounds like an iffy XP installation to me.

        Have him run FireFox until he can get legit.

          Nope, he didn't built this computer

          inhose computing he brought it from (there some shop in town), now called next gen computing

          And he has SP 2.

          Window update doesn't install Internet 7, cause it never show's up on it.

          And he has Window Media Player 11

            MS is getting way better at blocking these things is all i can say...

            And i'm not judging you or your friend, i'm simply saying this isn't the Good Old Days anymore.

                He's from Warton near Lancaster
                U.K.

                But what does have to do with his computer.

                If it was a 'iffy XP installation' what can he do about it?
