well i'm over trying to get lost planet to install. i gave it to my friend to mess with its his problem now. but now my computer is crashing when i install updates and half the time it won't install the critical ones like the security updates. it stills displays the error message and closes but just recently it crashed. i moved onto firefox and its working slightly better than IE but every once and a while it will do the same thing as IE, except crash. now when it crashes it will have the blue screen but it goes away so fast that i cant read the whole thing. so if any can give me any insight on what to do i would really appreciate it. by the way, as a response to digerati's question, my computer is homebuilt ill give out detailed specs i person. and the person that repaired it did have his own shop in a building that people could drive by and look in.
