Bradford requirement - Windows XP patches

If you have been automatically directed to this page, your copy of Windows is outdated and needs to be patched. Follow these directions to update Windows and receive full network access.

  1. Follow this link to Microsoft's Windows Update web site. You must use Internet Explorer to get the updates; the site is not compatible with other browsers such as Firefox.
  2. Follow the onscreen directions to scan your computer and install all critical updates recommended by Microsoft. Some updates may have to be installed separately - if this is the case, install the first ones, reboot as prompted, then return to the Windows Update site for the rest of the patches. 
  3. Once the patch installations are complete, reboot the computer if prompted, then browse to an outside web site (e.g. google.com). If no reboot is required, use the Back button in your browser to return to the Bradford window, and click Re-Scan. If you have other requirements to meet, Bradford will direct you to appropriate pages. If this is the last requirement, you will be granted full network access.
