NOTE: You, the customer, are solely responsible for data security. WinBook strongly recommends that you perform a backup of all personal data contained on your system prior to performing this procedure. Warning: WinBook will NOT be held responsible for any data loss incurred during this process.


Microsoft regularly releases security patches, programs, language packs, and bug fixes through its Windows Update site to keep your system in tip-top shape.
Why not let your computer keep your system automatically up-to-date without having to remember to do it yourself? It's very easy to configure in XP, and you'll be free to do the things you enjoy doing with your computer instead of having to worry about system updates.

How to configure Windows XP to automatically download updates:
1. Click the Start Menu and then the Control Panel
2. Click the Performance and Maintenance icon and then the System icon
3. On the System properties dialog, click on the Automatic Updates tab
4. Click the radio button next to the text labeled "Download the updates automatically and notify me when they are ready to be installed."
5. Click Apply

Now, the next time you're online and there happens to be an available update, you'll be prompted to install it after it is finished downloading.
