| 283914 | 2004-10-23 07:35:00 | If you have reformatted and reinstalled your OS you have to go through the full nine yards of patch and update installations. That is why we recommend drive imaging. You store a fully patched OS (and installed & configured programs too if you like) before it has a chance to get corrupted then next time you just restore the image. Get the picture?

| 283917 | 2004-10-23 23:37:00 | Prescott Go to the Windows Update site and select Custom Install to scan for updates. Install the updates listed EXCEPT for SP2. Then you will be fully patched except for the one you do not want. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 283919 | 2004-10-24 02:42:00 | Run the Microsoft Baseline Security analyser as windows update will not always detect all the updates believe it or not, particularly updates to office. You can get the analyser at www.microsoft.com |
