I have security updates from the past 3 months that need to be installed.
Should they be installed in the order they were released or does it not make
any difference? Running Win XP2, IE 6, OE6
I'm updating a friends PC and don't want to crash it.

Either read through the last two/three months of hell for those who have
suffered under the last three Black Tuesdays, or wait for as many sets of
advice that you will, with any luck, get before you have to do this service
for your friend.
You have not said if your friend has SPI or SP2 - most important and will
make quite a difference.
Have you been to WU Home to see how many security/criticals there
are(Express not Custom) - forget all the other stuff for the moment.
Is your friend validated etc and have they got WGA/WGAN on the system.
What antivirus do they have.
What other security progs do you have ie for spyware,malware etc.
That should be enough for you to think about for the moment.
Have you had any probs yourself updating?
