Next time the problem shows, put a checkmark in the box (rather than
uncheck), page down a way and check do not show this update again.

Nope, I don't want to install that component, so I won't check the box.
I don't want to show that update again, yet it persists in showing it after
"do not show this update again" has been checked.

After checking the box, do NOT click download and install---------instead,
click 'do not show this again.

Every month has a new version. It isn't showing the old update but the
new one.

There is no evidence to suggest
they make your system any more secure than it currently is. >

Why do you think MS spent all the labor developing them?
What facts did MS use to develop the updates?

I.E. Why are you so negative on MS?

I stated in a previous response that the "do no show this update again" has
no effect, even when IE6 is closed and updates are checked for again the
same day.

Billy-Boy insists that we need that component, even though it will remove
any port scanners and password checkers that are used to ensure LAN
security, and the Linux dual-boot MBR.

A1. The AU icon will not reappear until and less the Approved updates have
downloaded and are ready to be installed.

Absent any serious numerical Errors in your windowsupdate.log (cf.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093), you may be seeing delays (i.e., in
downloading or installing all approved updates) caused by excessive demand
on the servers ("Update is not allowed to download due to regulation").
See...

• Updates are not downloaded or the “Automatic Updates†icon does not
display the status of downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates
service
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/910340

In most cases, you can install all of the desired updates manually via
Windows/Microsoft Update website (WinXP) or by running Windows Update
manually (Vista & Win7) instead: Understand that by doing so, you're pushing
all other Automatic Updates users further back in the queue...which may
explain, at least in part, why Automatic Updates may not have brought them
in for you yet.

A2. Yes.

Dear Sirs,

I thank all of you for your replies.

I am able to see what are the files updates for windows xp using control
panel -> Add/remove programs -> show updates.

There should be some folders where windows update store these files for
installation. If I am able to bakcup that files on a removable drive, I will
save the labour of downloading these files all over again in case of a
reinstallation of the same operating system. Is there a way out like this?

I specifically thank Shenan Stanley for suggesting drive imaging utility. I
will also like to know any free imaging utility as suggested and your
experiences in using it.

Thanking you all once again,

Yours sincerely,
R. Ganesan.

Replying to your own post (in all of your various threads) isn't helping
much.

Backing up update installers makes little-to-no sense, seeing as the
majority of new updates (e.g., KB978207) supersede previously released
updates (e.g., KB976325).

Why not just use an external HD for backup?
