Dave,

The 1st link didn't work mate it just took me to the email registration to scan your PC.

The 2nd link said there were no available updates for your PC at this time.

I'd suggest updating everything except when the update is a beta as these sometimes cause more problems than they fix.

Thanks Sharpy.
I don't think any of these are beta, so I'll go ahead and download them later.

I'm getting there Dave...
I was getting all info on all of them for you before posting.
I know there isn't much difference between Acrobat Reader 4.0 and 4.05 but nothing wrong with 4.05 (no errors yet on my system).

Definately update any registered MS products (excel etc).

Dave I would take the updates slow. One at a time and then make sure that they have not caused any problems before moving on to the next. MSIE is a very big update and sould be done with care. If you are not in the backup routine you should be. Also I have found other than my browser and drivers I do not like to update unless the new software has a feature that I need. eg another program requires the update or security update.

Thanks Smurf, I really wasn't trying to rush anyone, it's just that I'm off work this week (vacation) and had plenty of time to do this kind of thing, so I wanted to make the most of it.
I spent a lot of today doing all the updates. I couldn't figure out how to install the Jetbase 3, but I think the others went in okay.

Thankfully I do run back ups here, I shall be doing some more tomorrow.
