Don't.

i do not accept every thing on every page i read on the internet and if i start haveing the problems they are talking about i will uninstall the patch,what im looking for is the opinions of people that have had problems or people that have not had problems and your opinion is only one of them

Wait - don't tell me - you weren't looking for someone incredibly opinionated??

i do not accept every thing on every page i read on the internet

Then why would you believe that because Microsoft says (on the Internet) that you oughta have something installed, it's really true? If I told you to install 'virus.txt' (and hey, I'm MCSE certified!) would you?? 'Course not!

I guess what I'm saying is the obvious - it's your PC. You paid for it. Install what you want, don't blindly trust anyone (except me, of course ).

Personally I dont do updates anymore. Most often than not, the M$ updates mess up people's computers. I installed all the updates 2 times when I first got on the internet in 99. It crashed my computer both times. So I quit. I only update when I am having a problem. I live by the old saying, if it AIN'T brok dont fix it.

Beside, most M$ updates end up having 3 patches to fix that patch to fix the previos patch that fixes 2 previous patches...etc......
