Question: A while back I
read your article about patches
and service packs. My ques-
tion is; how do I know which
ones to allow and which ones
to prohibit?
Answer: Here’s a quick
recap for those who don’t
know. A patch is a small
update that a software vendor
(for example, Microsoft) puts
out to fix little flaws in their
program. A service pack is a
whole lot of individual patch-
es rolled into one major
update. Patches come out
weekly, and service packs
come out once or twice a year.
You can change the way
patches and service packs are
applied to your computer by
going to Control Panel, and
then double-clicking
Automatic Updates. You have
the option of Automatic
(which applies them whenever
they come out), Download
(which just downloads them
and notifies you when they
are ready), Notify (which just
notifies you before download-
ing them), and Turn Off
(which doesn’t update or noti-
fy you at all).
If you have the Automatic
method chosen, you won’t see
or have any control over what
updates you get. This option
is for people who don’t care
which ones they get, and they
want all of them. If you
choose the Download option,
you will be able to choose
which ones you get applied to
your computer. You will then
see a yellow shield near the
time at the bottom-right of
your computer. Double-click-
ing on the shield will let you
know which ones are ready to
be applied.
It is very hard to know
which patches to apply and
which ones to ignore.
Microsoft will sometimes put
upgrades to their software (for
example, Internet Explorer) in
with the updates. It’s perfectly
okay to ignore software
updates if you like the one
you are using. For example, if
you like your current version
of Internet Explorer and don’t
want to change at all, feel free
to uncheck an upgrade to
Internet Explorer. If you hear
that the new version has a fea-
ture you’d like, then go ahead
and try the update. Just
remember, not all software
updates are hassle-free.
Microsoft’s patches usually
have a unique number identi-
fier in which you can refer-
ence on Microsoft’s web site,
or learn about it by searching
for that patch number on the
Internet. If you find that it
makes some changes you
aren’t happy with, or think
they don’t apply to you, by all
means uncheck it so it won’t
apply to your computer. I do
recommend you do all securi-
ty patches, as they will help
fortify your computer against
hackers and spy ware vulnera-
bilities.
If you’re unsure on what to
do, I will say that the vast
majority of patches are good
for your computer and help
out. However, I also have to
say that sometimes they cause
more problems than they fix,
but chances are you won’t
face those often. Sorry to be
on the fence kind of, but that’s
the way these patches go.

Lee College offers a deferred online
tuition installment payment plan to
assist students with managing college
expenses. Unlike a college loan, which
can charge interest and take years to
pay off, the installment option gives
students the opportunity to pay out of
their current income through smaller
and easy-to-manage payments without
wiping out their savings account.
To qualify for the online tuition
installment plan at Lee College, stu-
dents must be enrolled in any class
that is offered in the fall, spring and
summer. Online tuition installment
plans are available through late regis-
tration.
Various online installment payment
plans are available to students at icam-
pus.lee.edu. A $25 processing fee will
be applied. Installment plans do not
cover the costs of books.
For more information about Lee
College’s tuition installment plan, call
the Business office at 281-425-6321
or visit www.lee.edu/businessoffice.
For more information about spring
registration, call 281-425-6260 or
