hi! i do manual checking (through advance search) & downloading of updates for XP SP2 ... attached is a screenshot of how it basically is ... tedious i know ... however, my system got screwed more than a couple of times before by allowing windows to automatically download updates & install it (even if it's possible not have it done this way ) ... i think not all updates are captured though ... anyways, the 1st reason why i asked is because in the 2nd screenshot, it seemed that it identified an update for Vista even if i specified the search to be for XP only ... is this file supported: Windows6.0-KB905866-v2-x86.msu? 2nd, are the current updates (Dec 11 release) already supported? these were the ones i got: Security Update for Windows XP (KB923689) Security Update for Windows XP (KB926255) Security Update for Windows XP (KB926247) Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express for Windows XP (KB923694) so for XP SP2, recent hotfixes are only 4? thanks!
