Re: Having trouble deciding which updates to install

Hi all,
Thanks NormCameron for all your help. I have downloaded and installed the updates you suggested after creating a restore point and hidden the others. My computer is happy with this.
I guess the bottom line is don't update automatically. Set your Windows Update to check for updates but NOT download or install them unless you tell it to and then check out the updates before you install them.
Thanks again.

Re: Having trouble deciding which updates to install

regarding windows update I make a very careful check on what to download/install. here are some points: 1. get all critical updates to review. 2. make sure that they are updates for all services/application installed on your PC. 3. make a restore point before installing the patch.
