For folks just trying to make their machine stop crashing, trying to update everything is a pretty typical strategy, and the first thing customer support will ask you. > Windows Automatic Updates: Just Say No. (tm) (Even if you have to hack the > registry, or unplug the damn network cable before you boot up.)
