XP Home Edition - No Auto Updates Options

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have seen some postings regarding auto update not working but the problem I
am having is the auto updates tab under system has all options disabled. I
have found a way to at least set it so the updates will be downloaded by
editing the registry but am wondering why the options aren't available on the
automatic updates tab. Perhaps because I am running XP Home Edition? Thanks.
