I Have a system which I am trying to update the software on. When I go to download a update from Microsoft or ZDNET intermittently the machine gives me an error message saying need "Plugin" or "Library File is Missing". It doesn't tell me exactly what plugin or libray file. The machine will then leave the browser and go to desktop or shutdown or lockup. Need help with what the files are missing or needing to resolve this issue.

Sounds like you're using netscape as a web browser. You just want to go into your preferences and look for file types then look for something labeled as exe and zip files. There should be an option there for either use application or promopt, you probobly just want to set prmpt for action in there so it'll ask you to save to a disk instead of using an application (which I suspect is some download manager)
