Critical Updates

[Sharon]

How can I put a critical update on a floppy or CD. I
formatted my computer at home and reinstalled XP. When I
go on-line I can't download the critical updates before
getting hit by the blaster worm. I need to get the
updates from my work computer to take home to install.
Microsoft website doesn't seem to give you the option of
where to download updates - it just installs them. Am I
missing something?

active your firewall before you get to the internet

The firewall is active - still having the same problem.

Hi

You can "pre-download" updates from the Windows Update Catalog...
