Chuck, thanks for the input. Do you mean that I can install all of them with one click of the mouse. YEAH! I really wasn't too happy to do each one separately. I was concerned that, since some of them say that the computer should be re-started after a download, then if I tried to install them all at once, something would go wrong. The reason that I bought an XP was that my wife bought an embroidery machine and after we had it home, we found out that we needed XP for updates for the embroidery machine. I had a Win 98 that was doing all I needed (except for security).
