Answer 6

the best way is with a manuel update rather then download automatically. With xp there is a link from the start up. The windows icon and all programs then click on the update. You will have to be on line to do this and will have to go here a few times. Once here you will download one to three files and have restart the computer and of course do it again. There it will search your computer and see what files you have and some MS software. THe problem you have know is what of the options do you want to install.
