Wed, 13 Nov 2002 06:45:37 -0800Because IE is so entrenched in XP you need to do the critical updates. This goes for OE as well. I feel that I should always do the criticals. I do very few of the recommended unless I can see a definite application for my system. As for drivers,I am very careful about doing these. I usually wait for a bit to see if there are any reports of problems before doing those. As I don't use OE or seldom use IE, I could take that same approach of not doing those that I don't think apply to me, but the criticals may carry other security patches so I would recommed installing those. I would also recommend doing one or two at a time and working a day or so with those before doing the next. This way, if there is a problem you can use the restore point to go back to before that installation. Keith Thompson scubic wrote: >I have a new laptop with XP on it.
