| I've been reading some of the posts and am thinking I'm in for a long
haul.
| In the near furure I'm going to have to reformat my hard drive and
reinstall
| XP Home form the OEM disk.
| I ordered SP2 disk from MS, but after looking through the catalog, it
looks
| like even after installing SP2 again, I'm going to have over 100 more
updates.
|
| Any one have any idea of a quicker way to do the updates. I mean has
| anyone heard of a CD other then SP2 that has updates lets say through
the
| beginning of this year?
| After looking through the catalog it seems it would be just as fast
after
| installing SP2, to just let Windows updater do it's thing.......Even
with my
| cable this is going to take some time....
| Downloading all the updates from the catalog, burning them to a CD, then
| installing them one by one......
| Wow! It's really going to be quicker doing the auto update isn't it?
