Security bulletins do not show up in Windows Update, at least for weeks.
The bulletins may show up in the XP Auto update. If not, Microsoft expects
us to search thru the Security bulletins, ourselves, and install each one.
Why can't they also place them in the Windows Updates, when the come out???

It doesn't list XP with SP-1a among the affected systems. Does MS
ignore SP-la because it is almost the same as SP-l?

out???

The update and the bulletin both appeared on the Windows Update site TODAY
(Nov 11). If your Update was properly configured, you WILL have received a
notification.

They could hardly have appeared any earlier, since today was the release
date!

So why the whine??

If other persons use your computer and removed your notifications, or if
you choose not to use Update at all, I would say that it IS your
responsibility to make yourself aware of these notices.

PA, not sure what is going on with my Win update?
I do a scan for updates - I normally get 33% - 66% - 100% no available
updates,
Now it is going directly to 100% and the windows update part remains greyed,
also it shows that I have never previously downloaded any updates????

Thanks, PA; I'm taking it now from the site. But it's only one--
MS03-048 - Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer (824145), which also
is offered in the Catalog. These other two are neither at the site nor
in the Catalog.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,

Done the above, checked version as per KB article - still same scan result,
except that I can now see installation history, the one thing that does not
show is the message 'There are no updates available', I just get 'Windows
Update is looking for available updates... 100% complete' in blue.
Could it be a UK problem?

Windows version? (This thread has been crossposted to WinXP and Win98 NGs.)

Any errors in Windows Update.log or iuhist.xml?

Most of the following shall never return again, and were work files,
pre-V4. These files have caused interference in other threads similar to
this.

(a) "START, Settings, Folder Options, View tab"; bolt "Show all
files" & UNcheck "Hide file extensions...".
(b) Open Explorer to "C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate", and
(c) Delete everything in this folder EXCEPT the V4 folder.
(d) Open the V4 folder, and delete everything in it EXCEPT for the
"iuhist.xml" file.
