Default Win XP and it's updates

Well Guys

I have WinXP (Home) SP1 with all the updates, I found that when I did my latest round of updates (last Saturday 19th August) I ended up loosing all sound (video and audio) from my PC plus my ability to send faxes. MS security updates had also made it almost impossible to surf the internet while my firewall was on.

The MS updates had switched off my audio facility by replacing the sound card driver and disabled my modem by causing it to report that it was another brand of modem.

Some of these updates cause more problem than they solve, I have managed to get my PC sound and faxing facility back without losing the security updates. However, I am sick of these updates and the unpredictable things they do, plus my PC is now the way I want it so no more updates for me.




UK Bob
