Installing Vista Home Premium - Windows Updates

This question is in reference to a clean install of Vista Home Premium.

How do you disable Windows Updates from starting up before I install my
drivers and utilities cd for the motherboard?

Thanks

Select> Windows Update,
Select> Change Setting.
Select> Never Check for updates.
After you have carried out the tasks you want to do, in windows update
select> Download updates but let me decide when to install and then choose
the updates you wish to install.
Drivers for graphic, sound, etc. it if preferable to download these from the
manufacturers website

Disconnect your interface to the internet. (LAN card, phone line, modem, wireless, etc).

Pull the plug so to speak.

I would never consider unplugging the modem, or even bothering stopping
win update. Just let all the updates rattle in and then do your
motherboard updates Plus on some Motherboards you wont get any updates
until you done your motherboard as vista still can't communicate with
your LAN so to be save download all your motherboard drivers first and
save them lol.

I would never consider having a computer attached to the internet during
the build and the OS install. Why loose control IMMEDIATELY ??

I don't lose control, lol

You have to know what you are doing!

Look I installes something like around 600 Vista OSs and never had a
probplem with any instalation. Let Vista do it's thing and only then you
install the rest. It eliminates a lot of future problems people get were
win wants to install updates and can't etc. I make a living fixing comps
and have been with vista since RC1. Try it

I'm looking. I'm seeing you advice those who may not have you 'alleged'
grip on this with questionable suggestions.

I never use a spell chacker either.... but I don't lie.

It starts with the install.... then comes VISTA.

MAYBE that person doesn't WANT automatic updates, eh? Ever thought of
such a thing? CONTROLLING what your computer does or doesn't do ??
UNDERSTANDING where problems may have crepts in by following a
proceedure that lets you keep tabs on changes?

You darned sure don't make a living spelling or think much about your advice.

> Try it

27 years now... started with a TRS80 and then Macs.... moved to PCs
with the advent of Win-95. About 30% of my income comes from working
on PCs,.... so my child, I HAVE TRIED IT.

Caretaker,

It's not advisable.... I don't care that you have installed an average of over
three VISTA OS-es per day since the release, even though we all know
that is a serious crock of crap. Never let a new monster loose to "Do it's
thing". If you don't know what the OS consists of before you slam into
"automated" mode, you're a goner for EVER having a grip on what may
develop as an 'issue'. Even on an upgrade.... if it's not coming as a
download, the only *safe* thing to do is get a million miles from the I-net
and then configure the system properly for internet protocols when it's
loaded... then decide what bullshit processes you want updating themselves
OR NOT as they rear their ugly heads.
