Turning on Automatic Updates.

1) Click on "Start".

2) Click on "Control Panel" (For Win98/ME & 2000 first click on "Settings").

3) Double click on the "Automatic Updates" Icon.

4) The next screen may differ depending on your Windows version, but the goal is to turn on the Automatic Update function and have it download & install the updates automatically.

5) After activating the Automatic Update function, select a time when your system is most likely to be on & not in heavy use.

6) Click "OK" . . . (And your done!) * Note - If there are Updates that your system needs, they may download immediately which may temporarily cause your system to respond a little slow.
