    Download Daz's latest beta loader - search the forums for it - and run it after install.

    Turn off automatic updates - set to notify but don't download

    Don't download kb971003 - WAT update - why bother risking it.

    Yes and first thing you do with that is backit up to dvd, mistakes can happen seen it all before members installing onto backup partition.
