How to invoke/launch manually the Automatic Updates balloon tips?

[bm]

Since few months, I don't get the "balloon tips" that says "new
updates ready
to install, press here for..." (see Screenshot #1).
Now I get only the offer to install windows updates when I'm tuning
off windows
xp (see Screenshot #2) but in this case I can't see which updates will
be
installed on my system. Have you idea how to launch/invoke manually
that
balloon tips? (see Screenshot #1)
I tried to use "WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce", but not
results. I don't use
WSUS, it is just a normal client. I tried to reinstall the OS (Windows
XP SP3) with no
luck. In more the same its happening in a my other the notebook as
well.
So, I imagine that Microsoft has changed some parameters.
In more, I tried all possible combinations in windows update setting
(see Screenshot #3),
but nothing happens. Can you give some suggestion please, Thank You,
Paolo

I have seen a previous update that will "reset" the Automatic Update
setting back to default (not set.) Right Click on My Computer icon
and access the Properties. Then, access the Automatic Update "tab"
and adjust the settings.
