Using a friends laptop for the week and it has a few annoying problems. First of all, Windows update won't open. The icon is present at the bottom right of the task bar, indicating there are new updates to download/install. However it won't open it - tried left/right click, double click, opening WU through the start menu - nothing works.
The owner of the laptop did mention a pop up stating this edition of Windows is a counter fit but it had gone before I could see it. He brought this laptop legitimally (Dell Inspiron 1525). Furthermore other features of Windows won't open such as personalise (right click on desktop) or control panel. Finally Firefox seems to stop working every now and then. Pages takes ages to load and finally don't in the end; I close firefox and open it again but it says it is still running so I have to ctrl+alt+del firefox each time it happens for it to close properly.
These issues seems random, with no apparant link. Any ideas? Using Vista.
