microsoft update website says I am not running windows

[john]

I think the roroblem may have stemmed from the accidental
deletion of my Startup folder, however is the issue
possible related to the IE issue that says I am not on
the latest version of IE even though I am.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!
