I have win xp and a dial up connection. I want to back up
what i need and reformat my hard drive just to get rid of
the clutter. Is there a way to back up the updates I
have downloaded thru auto update? I really don't want to
download them all again, but I'm not really familiar with
how to back them up. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,

Brian Booker

You can backup updates, but not once you have installed.

do it after they had been installed but oh well.

Hi, you can't reuse the updates you have already downloaded but in the
future you can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed
later.
