Hi Joey, you cannot reuse the updates previously installed but the good news is
that you can get a CD with most of them on and the rest after October 2003, you
can download from the Catalog. Just make a list of what you need and then
download them. Go to the Win Update site and have a look at your installation
history.

The CD includes Microsoft critical updates released through October 2003
(and SP4 for Windows 2000 / SP1 for Windows XP) as well as information
to help you protect your PC.
Supports Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and
Windows 98 Second Edition (SE).

You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.
