Update Problems

[Pat]

Last week I allowed Windows to download and install all
the updates it said I needed. My computer slowed to a
crawl and kept locking up.

I finally gave up and reformatted the hard drive and
reinstalled Windows XP to get rid of all the updates.

What updates do I REALLY need? I'm running XP Home
Edition on a home computer with no network and no other
users other than myself. I don't want to update anything
that does not apply to my situation.

Is there any help out there for this?

E-mail replies appreciated.
