Hi, Would anyone please help if you can give me an address to look for all Critical Updates for Windows XP Home or Pro pasca/post Service Pack 2. The reason I ask this is because I need to burn to CD all critical updates or hot fix installer ( Things like WindowsXP-KB90####-x86-ENU.exe ) for my parents. They live in remote area with slow dial up connection, and sooner or later will need to reinstall the windows, and did not have ability to download all updates for hours from the phone line (damn those trojans, hurting old people). Note they already have Windows XP SP2 installer and Windows automatic updater is a no no for this dial up situations. Thank you in advance.
