Stay Up to Date Automatically Tip:
By Raymond

 

You can automatic updates in Windows XP to ensure that your computer is always current. Windows XP checks Windows Update for the latest updates whenever you are on the Internet, determines which updates apply to your computer, and downloads them in the background while you keep working or playing. If you prefer, you can have the computer continue notifying you with automatic balloon message reminders about updates. It’s up to you! Here's how.

To turn automatic updates on or off

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
On the Automatic Updates tab, click the setting of your choice. WinXpFix.com
