Installation Order of Service Packs & Critical Updates

[John Smith]

Have W2k at SP2 right now with zero (0) critical updates installed.

Can choose to install SP3 or SP4 but there are also about 30 Critical
updates available at windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

What is the correct order to install service packs and the critical updates
?

TIA

SP's contain critical updates, up to the release date of the SP.
SP4 I believe includes what was requ. from SP3

Hi, I would update SP3, and all other updates, except SP 4 and the
KB835732

update, as you may have read, this causes major problems in some computers.
I would hold off SP4 and wait for 5, as it will have a fix for

KB835732
