Hi, my preferences are set to notify and then I choose downloads.

I've not recieved any notification for a long time. Can someone tell me
when last critical update was? (am not concerned with office critical
updates, will explain below.)

Is there a newsletter which tells when critical updates are available. I
did try to sign up for one, and was impossible, buggy i take it, didn't
work..but if anyone knows of one, would love to know. It's impossible to
find which newsletter or email notice informs of such..the whole world knows
before i do when there's a critical update available.. and i cant find anyway
to find out when.

Using windows update at microsoft where they scan the computer I have a
problem there as well, so not sure if am missing critical updates.

Okay, here's the long story. I saw at one point update for office. (My
preferences are set to notify but I'll download.)

On installing, it first asked, update or install new version of outlook
express? I thought sure, why not..

Well, I have an old hotmail email..and as is old, is grandfathered in where
can recieve and send via outlook. (any newer than that no longer allows
such.) So, when outlook was installed, I could not enable hotmail (the one
addy) to send recieve via outlook.

So without that, didn't want outlook.. So I restored sys..ugh, which in
itself is a problem, but it got rid of the new outlook.

After restore, I screen shot all my settings in outlook which gave hotmail
paramaters needed for mail settings. Which by the way was shown as an option
with the updated outlook and I selected, but did not work..so basically if I
have new outlook, I can not use that hotmail addy with it. (as again, while
mine is grandfathered in, appears new outlook doesn't recognize is okay as
does not allow me to configure it, or if i do, does not work.)

So though, after getting the parameters again, (after the restore) I let it
update again, let it install outlook again, and same problem, wouldn't accept
the hotmail in outlook.. So again, restored..ugh again. to get rid of outlook.

Due to this, me saying yes twice to update outlook, microsoft does not
prompt if I want outlook updated, it thinks I do, as said twice before yes,
so is set in some file on sys somewhere, and so on updating office auto
updates to newer outlook, which you can see due to such, I can't update
office at all. (As I dont want outlook updated due to not letting me use that
hotmail thru it.)

So, I keep getting prompted to update office 2003. I keep saying no. I
remove the x, tell it not to ask again, and finally after 3 or so times of
that, it stopped asking me.

So, though am worried as not been getting any notification of any other
critical updates for xp etc. So, I go to the update and let it scan my
system. Now it runs like 5 minutes rather than 1, and gives message,
something like you refused 2 criticals, remove the block or whatever.

I'm not going to do that (as it's referring to the office updates.)

So, I'm not sure if due to that, it's not showing me any criticals at all.

My last updates were:

IE 7 Feb 13, 08

same date for xp

So am concerned, as has been some time..

Thanks for reading this long story and for your help and replies.

I've no idea how to subscribe or change notifications if need to, etc.

Take care,
blessings,
casey

It is usually the second Tuesday of the month.

Manually go to the site and get your updates.

They are there waiting for you.

There were no XP critical updates this month. There was only the malware
removal tool and four updates for Office products. The place to find out
about security updates is:
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/com...ns/200803.mspx
You can subscribe to the monthly newletter and the bulletins through links
there.

Hi Thanks for writing. Yes, I do go to the site, let it scan sys, and so the
concern is, due to problem I wrote of that it's not working, the manual.

Another just replied thought that none out this month. But yes, when I was
checking for updates was doing it manually, going to microsoft and letting it
scan..but I get a problem message reply; which is explained in my post.

Thanks so much for writing.
take care,
casey

Hi again, I went to that link which helps, and tho to get email notification
I click it and brings to a 2nd vendor which none says anything of email
notification. It just sells stuff. I know there's a way people get email
alerts..but not sure where..

Microsoft has so many things going..they dont' or can't I imagine keep track
of what's going on..lol

I knew I had more than that... but it would appear maybe I've found a
problem with the installation of KB936181 - which is AGAIN available
for download (for the 4th time... no errors previously that I saw)..

I'm following the instruction as to how to install that so it will
stop RIGHT NOW:-)

You can get rss feeds with the rss link on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/rss/default.mspx
and you can subscribe to the newsletter at:
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/secnews/default.mspx
The newsletter link is the Get Our Newsletter menu item in the left pane on
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/com...ns/200803.mspx
which I gave you. You probably clicked something else. Anyway, good luck.
