I discovered that the CD had bad files only after I had already installed it and had been using it for quite a while. A young student of mine had installed and introduced me to this OS and I knew nothing about it. At some point later, I discovered that I can actually check to see if the files were ok on the CD. I think that might have been when I reinstalled it at some point.
I assume that the "Update Manager" has been disabled in some way (by a Hacker or virus) since I cannot update anything. When I click on "Install Updates," I get a window asking for a password. When I clear that window, it goes back to the "Update" window again. It keeps going back and forth from these two windows. Thanks for your help.
