Can I uninstall the older versions of updates on my computer and just leave the most current one installed?
I’m cleaning house, trying to get faster response time on my computer. I’m showing like a gazzillion “security updates for windows internet Explorer…” and I don’t use Explorer. I also have 20 gazzillion Windows XP Hotfixs. I don’t know what they are. I wish someone could take a look at all the crap I have installed and tell me what I can safely uninstall….

Yes, I think so, but don’t ask me how. I have my computer tech guy make house calls for all of my technical ignorance. lol He updates things once or twice a year, and does, whatever he does, to keep things running smoothly.
It might be worth $70—$80 to have the pro-geek intervene. ;-)
Yeah…just got to get it there. I just tried to uninstall a Security Update for Windows XP that said it was installed 8 13 09. And there are a million more after that, sometimes 2 or 3 a day. But when I went to unistall it I got a message that said, basically, “Uninstalling this MIGHT leave you totally fubared. But maybe not.”
I never thought of a house call! Coloma, I love your goose!

Yes, just let your fingers do the walking, there are lots of computer geek services that make house calls. I love my guy, he’s got a great sense of humor, we end up talking for an extra hour no charge. haha
WHERE DID LIGHTLY SEARED GO????? I wanted to see what his answer was! Sniff.
@Coloma Um huh. What does your goose think about THAT?
I guess we’ll find out @koanhead! Running it now.
Please let me know how it turns out. I don’t have Windows on my computers and the documentation I looked at didn’t say for sure- and I’m curious to know.
@koanhead…. I don’t remember now! We just got from 5 days of primitive camping. I had to relearn how to flush a toilet, much less remember computer stuff…I think I couldn’t get it to run. I don’t remember….
@zen I got lurve for saying “druthers” once too!
