Windows XP updates?

[Atomike]

I have 2 machines - regular computer & my HTPC (networked) - both need Windows XP updates from time to time. Since I use dial-up, and only have 15 hours per month, I don't want to download the same stuff twice. Can you share XP updates between 2 networked computers somehow? I have been strangely unable to find any information on this topic anywhere. Thanks for any help.

To keep this on GBPVR topic:

Share a network drive between the two computers. Download your XML TV data to that shared drive. Point your GBPVR configuration for each instance for the EPG to the shared drive. When the Update happens, it'll read the EPG off the shared drive.

Same concept can be used if you manually download the XP updates and don't use the Updates Wizard.

or perhaps with regard to windows updates !

go to

http://www.microsoft.com/downloa....oryid=7

and select the downloads that you require. You can then download the updates seperately to a shared folder.
