April updates will be released tomorrow, future person.
Is "Show Updates" checked on your computer in the Add or Remove Programs
control panel listing?

Are these installed in your list?

- 942831
- 946026
- 943055
- 942830
- 914440

Actually - the most pertinent question is...

What Operating System are you currently running? Depending on that
answer - the above may not even apply!

Debbie,

You're welcome.
However, this question still remains:

How were these updates offered to your system ... via Automatic Updates/
Windows or Microsoft Updates ?

Hi again, just one more question for ya, when windows sends out their updates
for Windows XP and at the microsoft sight it says they all succeeded in
downloading...when you check to see if they are there in add/remove ...should
they always show up there?
