Win XP Pro SP2
No error messages and Belarc reports all fixes have been installed.

I'm puzzled why I am not being offered the above update.
I know some posters are continually being offered it and it is a pain.
My downloaded update history does not have it listed.
MS Update is set to download but not install.
Have manually downloaded January's updates.
I know there are links to manually download the update but:

a) Should I, if it is not being offered?
b) Do I assume that I already have another update that makes it unnecessary?

Think I've found the answer.
I have a security update for Office 2003 listed (KB924424).
This is a fix for MSXML 5, which is apparently unaffected (along with MSXML
3) by latest security alert.
