Hi, all you need to do is. go into my computer. go to the link "view systems information if you've not got the XP in classic view. then, go to the automatic update tab. there you'll find three check boxes. review each one as, they will get automatic updates to work but, it depends how you want them to work. do you want then scheduled? do you want automatic update to launch and download the updates and then ask you to install them? or do you want to be asked whether automatic update can get on with the job of fetching the updates.
