"MS update announced itself... I clicked to allow download... never an indication it had finished... To be sure I'll go to the Windows update page... the win update site showed two critical updates available" i'm seeing instances of others experiencing the same thing with win auto update not working well "I won't rely on the 'automatic' update any more" i never have and doubt i ever will

Gottfried, >MS update announced itself as soon as my pc had > booted this morning. I clicked to allow download. > There was never an indication it had finished, though Was the same with my computer. However, the download automatically resumed next day (I'm on dial-up, not cable/DSL) and installed after a while. Must have been connection glitch or something. Also, I guess, they may run it at a low priority to not disturb your other activities, so it gets suspended if the user is doing some other stuff at the same time. Jurgis
