I just realized that the automatic downloading program for Windows Updating
was not implemented. Checking if I had the 891711.exe issued on Jan 11/05
and updated April 12/05 (V.2) is not downloaded. Furthermore the update for
891781 on Feb 8/05 and updated Feb 15/05 (v.1.1) is also missing.

On the other hand, in the Microsoft Windows Update, under "Windows Me
Edition" shows 8 updates missing including the two above. Will deal with
these two first then look into the others.

Furthermore the "Critical Updates and Service Packs" show 24 updates,
however the majority applies to XP etc.

The "View installation history" show the updates up to sometime in 2003 are
downloaded...puzzling.

Do I have to download all the critical updates and Service Packs, since they
are not all for WIN Me? Dont think so. What about the 8 marked for WIN?
Think so. Your advice appreciated.

Paul

I'm not sure where you're seeing patches that are for WinXP - if you go to
Windows Update and allow it to check your system, you will see ONLY patches
that are appropriate for your system.
you need to download ALL the Critical patches - but only two or three (at
most) at a time, before rebooting and going back for more.... repeat until
complete.

Paul,

It's essential that amongst other critical updates that you install
891711. Don't worry about downloading the wrong version, the original
version was withdrawn in early April when the updated version was
released.
