Default windows XP updates incompatabilities

i had a thread a while ago which basically ended up with me finding out that a security update for Windows XP i downloaded awhile ago was causing Protools to be very laggy/choppy.

what i was wondering was if there was any documentation compiled by Digidesign or anyone else that went through which updates could be problematic with windows XP. There are a lot of updates and having to uninstall them 1 by 1 and restart protools is a major pain.
thanks

In particular, Internet Explorer 8 should be avoided with XP. Not aware of any others though.

Agreed. IE8 is the only XP update that I am aware of as causing bad PT performance(actually NO PT performance) Otherwise, last time I updated XP(at least 6 months ago), I told it to update anything and everything except for IE8 and had no issues. In general, there really is no reason to update anything, other than whatever Pro Tools requires. As for security updates, my Pro Tools machine stays off the internet for 99% of the time. I will connect a cable to my router and run an updater now and then, only if I feel the need(like updating all drivers for my PT9 install).

so is there any effective way in finding out which update or security update could be problematic, i have read that some people have troubles with certain updates and drivers. would be nice if a list was compiled to weed out the known bad ones

I got my system purring and have never plugged it into the internet again. PT8 with XP updates (minus IE8).

Running like a champ.
