Hi

Before installing SP1 I want to do some preparation (e.g. arrange back up of
my data files, etc). Currently, I have my Windows auto-update system set to
advise me when updates are available and I have been notified that some are
waiting. How can I prevent the auto update system from downloading SP1? I
seem to recall that you are not given the opportunity to choose whether or
not you want to download a particular update.

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi,

Open Automaitc Updates from the programs menu, under the "install" button
click on the line to "view available updates". Here you can select/deselect
the updates you want installed.
