"Message Center?" (was: video intercept error)

In accord with the alternatives we discussed here yesterday, I reset my 
Automatic Update options to inform me of "critical updates" and offer me the 
choice to accept or not to accept.

Someone explained that notification would start appearing in my system tray 
(does that mean I'd have to pull up the sys tray now and then to *see* if 
there was a notification there?).

Well, while doing email and reading news online this morning, I found myself 
interrupted by something that said it was "message center," but which I 
couldn't divine much about with Jaws except for that it had something Jaws 
spoke as "button" and another control that said "options."

Well, I tabbed back and forth between these two inscrutable controls, 
switched to Jaws cursor, which couldn't "see" anything different there, and 
finally, fearful that to activate either control might invite a revisit from 
the Darth Vader Video Intercept, I alt f4'd outta there.

Anyone know what that might have been?  I did open my system tray list and 
find an icon saying I had four new messages from Real.com or whatever, you 
know, Real Audio's Death Star Center.  Is that what the notification was 
telling me?

Thanks to anyone who knows this particular drill, or has some central vision 
to see the rest of what's explained in a screen like the one I described 
where I could only find a couple of buttons.
