    Just to support Nick's report: I, too, have installed them both and have no problems. I have all of the "critical updates" to date installed.

    The count is now up to 6 for other updates for XP that I have elected NOT to install, simply because I don't need them and won't use them, and there is no security compromise involved in not having them.
    :) :D :) :D :)

    Hmm,, after the latest updates, I can't open the device manager. The window comes up blank, and just stays there. If I click the X, it gives me the "Program not responding" box.

    To confirm Wisewiz's findings, I've gone through Microsoft's database for more information on all the updates for Windows XP Home that they have released, and found that many of them don't even apply to stand-alone, home computers. I installed them anyway, though... basically because they fix bugs in the code that may affect something else.
