John,

You can order the security CD free from Microsoft. It has all the
updates through October, 2003:

"Order the Windows Security Update CD"
http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp

After installing that there are some more that you will need:

835732 (Sasser worm patch)
837009 (OE Cumulative)
832894 (IE Cumulative)
828741 (XP Cumulative)
828028 (ASN 1)
837001 (Jet Engine)

There's a few more not listed here. After installing the security CD go
to the update site and see a list you need. Then dowload these using
the windows update catalog and burn them to a cd. That way you have
them if you need them again.
