Does anyone know what the security settings should be in
Internet Explorer to not interfere with Windows XP home
edition and windows update to operate correctly. Lately
if I try to perform anyting in help and support center,
i'm receiving error messages such as undefined etc. Also
how should firewall be configured?

I beleive that normal access to the internet should be fine as far as firewall
configuration is concerned [allow outbound ports 80/443 TCP]. I would also suggest
[as I do] that you add Microsoft.com or the Windows Update Site to your "trusted" web
content zone with a medium security setting for that zone. --- Steve
