How do you properly update Windows XP after a fresh install?
Hi there,
Well basically i was wondering how do you actually properly update Windows XP after a fresh install.
What i usually do is goto windows update, it then installs a few updates then asks to install "THE New MICROSOFT update" software.
I install that, then run it several times untill it doesnt update anymore.
Ill then install things like DotNet 3.0 or what ever its called and flash players.
Ohh and i install Graphics card drivers and motherboard drivers etc. i dont bother with onboard sound drivers if they work fine.
Am i doing it wrong, should i install mobo and gfx drivers, then microsoft update?
Should i just use the computer like normal letting it update automatically.
After a fresh install what are the first things i should do?
Thanks
