Windows XP and Vista updates It is very important that your system is up to date. Both critical and security updates should be downloaded to insure your computer is safe and working properly. Below is a simple how to article that will show you how to access and set up Windows update service. 1. Run Windows Update by left clicking the Start button image of the Start button, 2. Clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Update. 3. In the left pane, click change settings. 4. Choose the settings that you would like. 5. Under Recommended updates, select the "Include recommended updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates" check box, and then click OK Now that you know how to access this program, feel free to experiment with the settings. Some like to be prompted when updates are available. while others like to set it and forget it. There is a give or take with both options. I personally like to review each update as they become available to make sure I need what they are offering. For example, if there is an update for Microsoft Outlook Express, but you don't use this particular software, there is no need to download an update for it, right? Like I stated previously, you can have it your way. So take a peak and adjust it to your liking. But DEFINATELY make sure it is on at the very least. Like any software suite, Microsoft can have bugs and security holes that they patch up with these updates. So just by turning this feature on, you can eliminate future headaches.
