I'd suggest you click on "No" here and go online via the Windows Update link in the start menu, where you were. The website will enable you to select critical updates and to have them downloaded automatically, as they're released. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael McDermott To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 9:38 PM Subject: Windows automatic updates Hi all thanks for all the help regarding windows updates. I looked again in my system tray with the jaws key f11, but did not see it there. However, I saw off the start menu and under all programs. When I clicked on it it gave me the following message do you want to install and run windows update signed on 5/26/2005 I am inferring from this message the updating program is not installed and active. It's a security warning dialog that pops up and says its from Microsoft publisher. I don't know how to respond to this.
