Title: FileHippo.com update checker
Post by: crofty59 on June 28, 2008, 12:13:30 PM: Hi all

I have been using FileHippo.com update checker for quite a while, with no problems until today.
I get a error when i click to check for an update.
I am using the "standalone version" (NOT the installed version)

If anybody else having any problems.

Using Win XP SP3 all updates

I am not registered at that forum yet so my link is bad but that is the post I was refering to.

I see that you now have more than 20 posts which will permit you to update your profile to include signature information.

Go to PROFILE then Modify Profile then Forum Profile Information then Signature: and put information about your system just like my signature about your system just like my signature so that the helpers can offer pertinent advice.
