Can anyone recommend third party software to download and save to disk, any or all XP OS updates, I would like to be able to do this outside of the XP update process? Yes I realize that SP3 contains all updates up to that release point but really I'm interested in the ones from SP3 onwards. Thanks

{sigh}.... i wish WinDizUpdate was still working. Worked great for me.

Yeah, but have a look here:

Don't get me wrong, that's also very handy, but the advantage of WinDiz was for post-installation stuff and users without much knowledge or motivation to update windows. It functioned similar to Windows Update but worked in FF and didn't install the WGA crap, etc. (IIRC)

I thought Autopatcher was shutdown by MS, great to see they survived and are still able to help out.

I didn't mean to imply you got it wrong, sorry if it came across that way. I was just trying to say that they've each got strengths and weaknesses and WinDiz was great when i had someone who just wanted an easy way to update without going through MS.
