I just recently bought a new computer but have only recently been able to access the internet. I checked to see what upgrades I might need. I found that I needed 21.2 mb of data to be up to date. My BIG problem is I have a really slow connection and it will take hours upon hours to download all of the upgrades I need to be safe. Is it possible to download the upgrades, here at work and then save them to disc so I can just take the disc home and upgrade at home from the disc? I have a list of the upgrades I need
thank you

Sorry, I should have been more specific. You need to
enter the KB or Q number in the box for Keyword (scroll
down to find the box). In so doing, you should be able
to acquire what you need.
Accept my apology for time you have expended
unnecessarily.
Good luck!

Thank you for your assistance. I have found only a few

of the upgrades at the site specified. I tried to browse
the other catagories but I haven't found any more. The
button for the next 45 has more but not the ones that I
have on my list, are there more updates someplace else on
the site? Numerically would be nice.
 
hi, are you referring to the updates in the "Windows
Update" site? if you are, here's what i did to save those
update to disk just in case i needed to install/reinstall
winxp:

1. start windows Update
2. after winupdates loads in IE, click on "Personalize
Windows Update" on the left menu
3. check "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog
under See Also", then click "save settings" on the upper
right corner.
4. click on "Windows Update catalog" on the left menu
5. click on "Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating
systems"
6. choose your OS, i.e. Window XP SP1
7. click "Search" to get all updates or use "Advanced
Search" and type in the KB or Q number in the box to get
a specific one, since you have a list on what you need
8. when you get to the results (Crit. Updates,
Recommended Updates, etc.) click "add" on the ones you
need
9. go to the download basket, browse for a folder on your
disk, like c:\winupdates or something, then click download
10. after download, each update .exe will be put in it's
own folder, so you have to drill down to a nest of
folders created during the download just to run each
update

good luck, and i hope this helps.
