252686 2004-07-16 00:23:00 I've a machine running XP pro with SP2 (rc2). Is it necessary to apply the recent critical updates that Microsoft releases - KB840315, KB823353, KB841873, KB839645 & KB828026?

Cheers

It might pay to install them, but do a system restore first.

As you will be using version 5 of windows updates (SP2 update site) you should note that the patches are not available from there WinUpdate5 (v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
and I gather therefore they are not strictly required... I may be wrong of course. You can check out MS04_Jul Patches (www.microsoft.com)
