with the help of the Answer Desk Level 2, i just repaired my hp compaq presario pc, 512, 32 with windows vista home basic sp 2. while reinstalling MSE and its updates i froze up and upon reboot was able to change wupdates to let me chose which to install.

as i know its only the beginning as only a handful did install initially, i want to determine which of the 130 important updates and subsequents are important to me to install. as i gained 4 GB in my C drive and wish to perserve as much as possible, i don't

want to be forced to update things like the trial office i won't use. unfortuately they are not listed by date of release, they are mixed. How do i determine which to install and which to hide? i thought i'd do a few a day and try to observe changes to

my programs and processes, but if i can do that, will i be able to uninstall unnecessary, or just hide the subsequents?

 

 

and more urgently now, should i start say 5 from the top, or the bottom?

 

any input greatly appreciated as i've been struggling with all of this for over 3 months now.
