I have done the XP updates individually. Where or can I find them on my
hard drive so that I can copy them to a cd?

Hi,
If you used the administrative options at the Windows Update site, then you
would/should know where you saved the stand-alone updates. If you just used
the normal Windows Update routine, you may find some of them in the \WUTemp
folder that is created on the drive with the most available space or the
C:\Windows\softwaredistribution folder, however many of the files are
deleted as part of the end of the update routine. Your best bet is to use
the administrative options to gather the updates you want to save to disk.

So they don't have to be downloaded again. Particularly useful if all that
is available is a slow dial-up connection.

As explained in response from "nutcase". I was hoping that I could just
copy them to a CD for future use without going through the trouble of
picking and choosing all over again. It comes in handy if I format our hard
drive etc.

Why should you need to pick and choose all over again? You would only need
to do so if you were reinstalling Windows XP and that should be a rare
occurrence if at all!

Why is there a need to get them a second time? The only reason I have ever
needed to do so was when I changed the motherboard and master hard drive.
Once in nearly three years! Unless you are meticulous over storing CD's
you just increase the clutter. They might be safer on a second hard drive
albeit at a higher cost

As you are doing Windows Update (through the website) it provides a link to
a kb page, and that page provides a download. Or you can type the KB Number
into a search engine and find places to download.
If you do plan to do this, I would set up a blank box, install SP2 straight
away, and then download all of the updates required AFTER SP2 (like, WinBits
2.0)
If you want to see the updates you've installed right now, Go to the control
panel, then add/remove programs, then select "show updates", and use a
search engine with the KB number.

If we all lived in a perfect world, that would be true. But...it isn't and
we don't. While most things can be fixed, oft times a clean install is
quicker than the tedious steps of recovering an infected system. Some people
simply don't want to spend that much time figuring it out.

Excellent response! With 4 kids sometimes things get so weird I find it
easier to start again rather waste time. Also my expertise at problem
solving just isn't where it should be and I have a low frustration level!

All updates are not displayed in Add/Remove Programs.
Some updates can not be uninstalled and they are not shown in Add/Remove
Programs.

Quite. However, another approach would be to encourage your four children
not to
make the computer go "weird". Persuade them to be more responsible for their
actions. Delay fixing the computer, pointing out that their enjoyment ( or
lack of
enjoyment ) is a direct consequence of their actions. You may then find you
are no
longer called upon so frequently to fix the computer. Teach them routine
maintenance.
Put preventative measures in place. Does the machine have a "hosts" file?
Make
the system less reliant on clean up measures after the problem has arisen.
