Default Updating Windows ME

Windows ME 7/15 2004
In 2001, Windows ME was installed on my new Compaq,
and I've been installing the critical updates since then.
I like ME very much and don't plan on upgrading to XP.
Looking ahead, if ever my computer crashes, I will
again install Windows ME from the ME startup (boot)
diskette.
Question: after I re-install ME from the diskette, what
Is the preferred way to install all of the many updates
that have been available during the past 3 years or
Thanks, Joe

You download all the updates from the Catalog and save them on your machine
or on a CD. If you go to the WindowsUpdate site you'll see the catalog in
the left pane.

Since you're planning ahead, order the Windows Security Update CD. Cuts out
a lot of time and a certain amount of patch redundancy. It's free, order
now. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu.../cd/order.mspx
Contains patches to Oct '03.

Look Joe, on Windows Update, click Catalog in the top at the buttom of the Windows Update logo (I use XP so maybe the link will not be visible to you because their may be a difference between the Me and XP WU site). If you don't see the link, click the Personalise Windows Update and make the appropriate changes).

That's a different (and entirely disappointing) Windows Catalog. The Windows
Update Catalog (replacement for the old Corporate Windows Update) will be in
the left pane after selecting it in Personalise WU.
