Windows update after system restore

[Neville]

Anyone know how to re-install the 6 updates that will have
been removed by my need to use system restore? Windows
update search thinks they are there but I suspect they are
not as the instal date is later than the restore to date.
I am after 823559, 823718, 823980, 819096, 821557, and
822295. Especially 823980 as tis is the blaster worm
antidote!

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix

In the Uninstall key, above, look for a subkey with the same name as the
Hotfix number, Q811493 or KB823559, for example. If its there, right click
the subkey and select Delete. You can select Export first, to create a
backup if needed, just in case.

Then go to the second key, above, and do the same. Again, you may want to
select Export, to create a backup, just in case you make a mistake.
