Re: Update manager issue
Is Chrome the cause of my Update Manager issue?
I started to dump Chrome (which I like) but cant figure out how to save my bookmarks.
Thank you I might like to try chromium ... Ive used Firefox but have had problems on some sites, and Chrome worked better. Sorry to lose it.

Update manager issue (Chrome related) [SOLVED]
This cropped up a couple days ago. I'm attaching a screenshot...
My system is a HP Stream with 32 bit LM 17.3 installed.
I'm using Chrome browser which may be running out of updates and tripped things up?
Thanks
Jim

Im a totally disabled Vietnam veteran and live off my VA compensation so limited resources. I needed this inexpensive laptop to work. I'm sending this message ...
