Hi,
I broke my installation of Windows XP SP2 after messing around with a
new vga card and had to perform a repair install. This mostly worked
OK, but my installations of SQL from VS2003.NET and the SQL component
of Outlook Business Contact manager both now seem to be broken.
Additionally MediaPlayer 9 is complaining that a dll file version is
too old and won't run because of that.
I think that the problems would be resolved if the updates to the
various installed programs could be reapplied. Unfortunately, I only
have a dial-up connection to this PC at this time (until recently I
did have broadband and was quite careful about updating the system).
Because of this, I would prefer not to re-download all the updates
from the MS website and I would like to know whether it is possible to
re-install them from the places they were originally downloaded to on
the current system ? Or will they all have been deleted since then ?
Alternatively, I do have broadband access at work and I could download
all required patches there and blow them to a disk for use at home.
Is there any way of doing this, and how would I know which updates my
home PC needs, and how could I ask my work PC to ask for them from the
MS server ?
Many thanks,
Mike Davies
