Updates forever

I had to reinstall XP, and have been running automatic update for several
days trying to get my system back up to date. The Windows Update page now
only applys one update at a time as well. Anyway I can shortcut this process
and get updated more quickly?
Thanks

Are you on Win XP SP2? This will connect to windowsupdate v5 automatically
and offer different update option. Depending on availability and target
machine's patch status, the number of patches may vary. Also, consider
picking the customized option to see more (additional patches that may be
available and rated differently e.g. non critical).

Hope this helps.

Install Service Pack 2 first.
Since SP-2 includes all but the most recent updates, you may save
considerable time:
