Windows update

[Guest larry]

Hello

 

I have 78 updates to d/l from windows updates , do i d/l all of them at

once or do i have to d/l two or three at a time? I read the posts on this

site a lot and know that automactic updates is best but i dont want IE7 to

slip in.

Thanks Much

That doesn't really matter. What matters is that you update your system

periodically in the future.

That depends. The automatic update does not replace visiting the Microsoft

update site in order to see optional updates as well. And if you have to

update several systems, it's best to download the updates directly from

the corresponding websites as executable files.

Why not. Anyway, install the

"Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery of Internet Explorer 7"

IMHO, IE7 seems to be a lot better than IE6 ever was. The real danger is

Windows Media Player 11 slipping through the net, and you definitely don't

what that.
