PSA: FYI Microsoft Windows Update has 5 critical updates

[CraigRT]

without reading anything on their page, the updates mustn't be for XP with SP2 beta, cause it says there are none still and I haven't updated in weeks.

all of these vulnerabilities affect Windows 2000 (except 04-013 which is Outlook Express only)

i don't download the updates. I've found that they do more harm than good. My system is stable now, no sense is fscking it up now.

^ When is XP or 2000 unstable ? I've thrown all kinds of crap (software and hardware) and it never blue screens or freezes.

And BTW, the 5 critical updates are for both XP and 2000... had to get them on both machines.

Is there still a way to save updates instead of automatically installing them? I'm stuck with dial up and I hate having to download 100 different updates every time I reformat.

They get downloaded to a "WU Temp" folder and I just copy them out before they are automatically deleted. The folder is usually "c:\WU Temp", but this time for me it was "d:\WU Temp".

Man... their servers must be getting hammered, because I'm having all sorts of problems doing updates for clients computers at the moment

Thanks for the heads-up, all patched up....at least until next week

This is just a request, but please make your sig a few less lines. Having a one line post take up more than half of a page is kind of annoying.



I downloaded the updates this morning. They were already waiting to install, so it must have downloaded during the night.
