The following is the list of Updates of May 2, 2008. As I mentioned I have
ALWAYS had Auto Update on since 2005. I check regularly. I chose the Express
install - not custom.
In addition I have added the latest Updates received.
Please Note that MS states that SP3 was installed. This is incorrect. It
has not installed on my computer. Dont know why, but I do not see it in the
updates other than the MS Update website under History. (but I am rather glad
after reviewing several websites and reading about the problems.)
I apologize for not having the error message but will make note of any
future ones.
