Should I download Windows XP updates that are not the Criticial Updates?

[robert]

downloaded them last night.....no problems with this
computer....also this computer seems to run faster today
then it did yesterday.

i do update weekly....this is first update in 2 weeks...

if you don't trust microsoft updates...don't put gasoline
in your car/truck....don't use your credit card....and
don't eat at that restaurant....done

Try downloading updates one at a time. Run your computer for a while. If you
have a new problem after the update, then the downloaded update could be
causing your problems. If you download multiple updates at one time, how do
you know which one is causing you problems. Works for me.
