Gray__Fox

(it did seem a little small but I just chalked it up to me being paranoid you rock -x- thanks for all your help!

not until I absolutely have to! I can't even get the RC to work correctly so...

Not sure what you are asking here. you can disregard the first question I figured it out. and the second I was curious if the add-ons are non-Microsoft products/updates (IE: firefox, adobe, etc.) and the only other question I have right now is If I download the fully redistributable .net 3.5 I can add that as an addon or fix right? (this one HERE)

Here's my list of post SP3 hotfixes (no Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool). Just download them from MS to a folder and each month when the new hotfixes are released, update the folder. WindowsXP-KB898461-x86-ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB923561-x86-ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB938464-x86-ENU.exe WindowsXP-KB946648-x86-ENU.exe cont'd If you prefer all-in-one update packs, you can get them here or here. You can get addons here or here or here or here. Thanks a million! This is where I've gotten stuck. So these are only to be installed after SP3? Do I need to install .net framework 1.0-3.5 separately? On my current installation, the one I'm using now, I had to download all the .net separately. I thought it was all in SP3 but I guess not... are they in the list you've put up? and also where do I find there just the Microsoft Website? This was more my test PC for it and it worked now I'm trying to get to the more advanced areas for later. EDIT: and also add-ons don't directly refer to Microsoft updates? (because that's what I thought)

That's where my problem comes in. I don't know where to look for add-ons and update packs I'll try that thanks.

I'm not quite sure how to integrate the addons (it's my 2nd time doing this) I have SP3 installed but the addons and hotfixes I don't quite understand how to do it. Is it possible to get a fully updated ISO, it might be a good idea to have posted up. It'd be a lot easier then trying to figure out how to get the addons in since there really is no explanation of exactly "how to." (I'd also be open to a detailed walk through of how to) Thanks
