There are some updates that you may need to install manually for Windows Update to function:

DUN 1.4 (Dial Up Networking)
128 Bit Encryption

IE 5.5 or 6

If you have older hardware that does not have new drivers available, I recommend NOT installing IE 6 or DirectX 9

If you need IE 5.5, you can download it from the browser archive at www.evolt.org
