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

Subject: [guispeak] Microfost critical updates


Hi everyone,

I have had a strange problem for the last few months.  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?
