If you go to Windows Update and it presents the "critical
update" you should install it.

| Jim,
|
| I am as confused with this newest update as "THEBFG" is. I 
am running
| Windows Millenium and MSIE 6.0.2800.1106 and have also 
kept my Windows
| Updates current to now. I don't know the difference 
between an "update,"
| "rollup" or "hotfix."
|
| Would I install this rollup 889669 or the update 889293?
|
| Thanks for any help you can send my way.
