Bradford requirement - Windows Vista and Windows 7 patches

If you have been automatically directed to this page, your copy of Windows Vista/Windows 7 is outdated and needs to be patched. Follow these directions to update Windows and receive full network access.

  1. Under the Start menu, choose All Programs, then Windows Update.
  2. In the left column, click Check for Updates.
  3. Follow the onscreen directions to 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 Windows Update for the rest of the patches. 
  4. 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.
