Re: [PCTECH] Trying Again :-) How are you handling Microsoft Updatesvia CD's ?

I see what you mean now I tired it. I was not the one who gave you the 
link before. When I downloaded them I did them one at a time (from the 
security bulletins) and it allowed me to put them anyplace I wanted. I 
am not sure why it does it the way it does.  Were I work now they have a 
subscription (it cost) to MicroSoft's TechNet (never heard of it before) 
here is a link to its patch management page
