Most Updates are released in one batch, monthly, on the second Tuesday of
the month. If Windows Update offers you nothing, you don't need any more
updates.

Did you buy your computer or Windows XP from Bellsouth? No, so why call
them for support on anything other than your connection?
If Windows XP was preinstalled on your machine, contact the manufacturer for
support. If you purchased and installed a full retail version of Windows
XP, contact Microsoft for support.
