-- My computer is set to update and install auto matically but it does not
do so and on Wednesday 10 August 2005 I had to down load and install
manually.
Can anyone suggest reasons for this? I use firefox as my default browser. I
have XP windows home edition
Thank you

Excessive demand and it just wasn't your turn yet? Give it 2-3 days,
minimum, Gel.

Also having problems with Automatic Update. Installed a fresh copy of XP
(Legit) and Auto Upate pops up for a second then disappers. Normally it
downloads all my critical updates for me.

There have been times when the automatic updates work OK so I think that the
suggestion from P A Bear regarding excessive demand and 'not my turn yet' is
probably the answer. Perhaps I am too eager to get down loads to protect my
greatest toy MY PC
Thank for your help
