Automatic update yellow ! warning

[Dr. Dos]

Constantly, repeatedly, over and over, the windows XP automatic update
yellow warning shield appears in the system tray. There are no updates
to download or install. This is an annoyance I want to stop. Turning off
updates places a permanent red warning, a nag I do not want. How to stop
this useless clutter of the systray?

Did you recently install WGA or go thru the process? If so, go
to the site and try again; you'll likely get an updated WGA. The
same thing bugged me, but it went away with one of the updates.

Just a thought.

Yes. That seems to have cured this problem.
I did a manual update and MS forced a new version of WGA. The yellow
shield remains just for a minute in the systray and then is not seen
again for the session.
Thank you.
