cancelled updates

According to Windows Update, I am current with all updates. However, upon
reviewing my update history, I noticed that three updates were cancelled:
KB911564, KB911565 (both are WMP updates) and KB896424 (security update).

Wouldn't Windows Update pick up cancelled updates and recommend that I
install them? Do I attempt to install these three updates manually?

Have you checked that those updates weren't in fact reinstalled at a later
date??

As far as I can tell, no, they were not.

I ran the Belarc Advisor as you suggested. I said the hotfixes I mentioned
had been installed.

Thank you, Noel, for your help.

I had a typo in my previous post. Should read, "It said ....".

I kinda gathered that was what you meant!

Glad to hear you seem to be running fully-patched! (BTW - it's Patch Tuesday
