Windows Update did not update tonight

[katy]

I wonder if I don't have my settings correct? tonight I manually went to
Windows Update and there was a critical update available called "Update for
Windows Vista Beta 2 and Windows Codename Longhorn Server Beta 2
(KB920698)". I am worried that my updater isn't working.

Where can I check to see if the Updater is working automatically?

When I turned on the PC tonight, there WAS a yellow shield on the taskbar
along with a red shield that showed that my security was not secure. I
double clicked the red sheild and by then the security was back 'on' so I
was no longer in trouble. But then the yellow shield and the red shield
were both gone. I figured something installed and I was good to go.

Now I'm worried that my 'security' is such that even windows updates cannot
install themselves due to tight security although I do try to make sure I
agree to 'known good updates'. I didn't get any warning windows however,
that I needed to click Yes for permission.

How can I tell my Updater is working and that security isn't interferring??

TIA for your help...........katy

I have the exact same problem. Ive tried turning all the security features of
and nothing sems to help. The Update stops on Downloading so it would apear
that there is a problem on Microsofts servers.

Found The solution, just go to Microsoft.com and search for KB920698 then
choose the right version for your computer and download it manually

Is the number correct as you posted?

I searched the Microsoft site and I get "Sorry,
we couldn't find any pages containing KB920698"
for that KB.

I also tried without the"KB" and I got "Sorry,
we couldn't find any pages containing 920698"
for that, too.

It´s correct. You have to go to the downlads section. But the problem didn´t
go away. I got the patch dowloaded, but once i ran it, it gave me an error
"0x8e5e0226". So there doesn´t seem to be an fix to this yet.
