Ärende: XP SP3 on AMD CPU Worked.
=================================
TW>EV>I haven't tried to do a TI restore.

TW>EV>In fact I wouldn't do a restore from the TI backup I made because that
TW>EV>would bring me back to XP MCE 2002 SP2, and I don't need to go back to
TW>EV>SP2.

TW>EV>Really I need to make a new TI 10 backup of this updated box B4 I allow
TW>EV>Windows Update to add anything to this box, shouldn't I?

TW>That should be a Hight Priority Item after you see SP3 runing smoothly.
TW>AND do not make any changes to the machine like updates Until you do a
TW>new Image.

Tom,

Thanks, in a week or so IF NO problems appear I will do a TI Backup (or
2 as Jean suggested).

TW>EV>One thing I dislike about Patches, Updates etc. is the extra time it
TW>EV>takes to Shut Down, Restart, and wait some more time before I can get to
TW>EV>the Desktop to do something again.

TW>I do my updates manualy. Go to the MS Update site and see what is new
TW>and write down the KB numbers. Then I go to the MS Download site and
TW>search for those numbers and download them to be installed at my
TW>leasure. One note for searching for the KB numbers. The screen
TW>brought up may have more then one entry fro that KB number, like ofr
TW>in Vista, Win XP, Win 2000 and now or soon Win 7, and you need to
TW>download the one for Your versio nof windows. Also while It could cause
TW>a probloem even when it says I need to Re-boot I check NO and do the
TW>next update. Then onlt Re-Boot Once for my update session.

The Acer Vista Home Basic Laptop here has Automatic Updates selected,
and I have allowed it to continue doing that when I got it from my
brother.

On the laptop it lets me see what updates or patches are ready to
install, and lets me press the button to install them on the laptop.

I have been offered an additional update for the Wireless device which
Jeff helped me get the Driver turned off so it wouldn't aggrevate me by
always starting up when I turned the laptop on.

I accepted the Wireless update once and found out it turned the Wi-Fi
ON.

So I disabled the Driver for it again.

Recently someone here said something about right-clicking on a patch or
update that you don't want and select HIDE.

Today I did that to the additional Wi-Fi patch and it IS HIDDEN.  ;-)

I suppose I will set the Windows Update on the XP box to Download but
notify me, instead of allowing full automatic updates like it is on the
Vista laptop until I trust MS more.

If Windows Secrets says to wait before applying a patch I wait.

When Windows Secrets tell me that a certain patch is a very important
thing to accept I do it.

TW>EV>A few of the times I have noticed when they Logged Off of AOL, THEN AOL
TW>EV>would start installing an update and they couldn't do anything with
TW>EV>their computer until AOLs update was finished.

TW>EV>And this was while they were using a regular POTS Dial-Up connection.

TW>EV>BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TW>Tripple BAH!!!!!!!!! I have had that problem but not with AOL.
TW>I try and make it a policy if Possable to TURN off Automatic Updates
TW>ot set it to notification Only, in any software installed and then
TW>Rembember to check for Updates avilable for each program when I have the
TW>time.

For now I think I only need Windows Updates instead of Microsoft
Updates, I don't use MS OFFICE so I don't think I need Microsoft
Updates.

On the Vista HB laptop I have Secunia PSI (Personal Software Inspector)
and it does a good job of letting me know of software updates that are
needed so I think Windows Updates should do for me on both the laptop
and the XP box I just allowed to be Upgraded.
