Rick, could it be in scheduled tasks? Are you certain that you've downloaded and installed the update?

I have Win98/se and am running JAWS. Last May, we had a storm. I have a UPS and surge progectors and didn't worry about having my computer on. I was listening to something on Real Player, and suddenly, off it went with the power. I ended up having th turn everything off. The computer was still running on the UPS, but it wouldn't shut down properly. When I came back up, I found myself using an earlier version of the registry. I ended up reinstalling several programs. It didn't affect Office, but it did effect Real Player and Windows Media Player. I also had to reinstall my firewall and Mcaffee. Things are mostly going quite well now, except for one thing. Microsoft Critical Updates kis bothering me at least every 24 hours. I have gone into accessories and told the function not to give me the automatic updates, but to no avail. I keep getting messages for the same particular update, one that is 819k in length. I don't know if this is because of the registry or because I answered because of the registry corruption, but it is quite annoying. I will be in the middle of something else, and this Microsoft Critical Updates window comes jup. I go into it, tell it to notify me later, or just close it. It makes no differences. I wish there an option, "Don't notify me at all, but that isn't there. What do I try next? ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
