Nathan,
When you do Windows updates it changes nothing on hoster. I have done all the windows xp & win 2000 updates since last october, and hoster is still up and running fine.

For safety, If you get Norton Ghost 2003 and make a backup Image of your c: hard drive, then when you have a problem, you won't have to bother anyone about reseting anything. Everything Including windows will work without reformatting and re-installing all your programs. They will all be there ready to run.. and reimaging your hard drive takes less than 20 minutes as opposed to hours for reformatting and reloading.

I hope you get up and running. Good luck
