Hi, Lionel, That is a good question, and the answer lies somewhere, I guess. It comes to mind that if the updates were to be installed one at a time, one would recognise a sudden deterioration in responses. I'm a bit wary of downloading any of them, but I guess I must bite the bullet and d/l the critical ones that apply to WinXP. As I don't use IE or OE, I wouldn't worry about the updates applicable to those prog's! Unless somebody tells me I should - they are on my system!
