havent been able to update for months, tried uninstalling and reinstalling today, now cant even use old version, allowed by firewall and everything, help?

What error message are you getting?

there was an error trying to establish a connection to the update server. try selecting different host, if this happens with all hosts you are either not connected to the internet or a firewall is blocking swiftkit's access to the internet. error: Cannot write file to disk. Error 35761: request timed out

Cannot write file to disk generally means permissions, did you run the installer and the SwiftKit launcher as Administrator?
