Right click on My Computer and go to Properties. Is there an Automatic
Update tab there?

Thanks for the reply Alias...but I've done this!!!!! .....the service itself
is still missing from the list and am unable to update anything! untill this
service is manually enabled again...... but I just can't find it because its
just not listed in Windows XP services anymore, where it should be!
....bizarre :-(


Thankz anyway =)

DO NOT DOWNLOAD DRIVERS FROM MS UPDATE!

Always get drivers from the manufacturers site.
