Windows Updates finds No Updates

[James Gilman]

I am running Windows XP Pro Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3, v3311 Build 2600 on a X86-based PC with Internet Explorer Version 7.0.5730.11. For the past 3 months or so, I have received no updates. Microsoft Update scans my system and reports no updates or errors.

I ran the suggested WindowsUpdate Reset Tool. It ran successfuly; I rebooted
my system and reran Windows Update. Still no suggested updates. I notice my
update history is now cleared.

According to Belarc Advisor I am missing 10 fixes; according to it, the last
hotfix installed was KB915800-V4 on 7/9/2008.

When I run the Microsoft Security Analyzer it indicates there are no updates
to be installed but then indicates the computer is not running a Windows OS
system. I don't understand this - as I mentioned, Windows Update never
indicates I am not running a Windows system, just says there are no new
updates - but the latest August updates for Windows XP were never installed.
