Where is my Ultimate Dreamscene?

It appears some folk (including myself) aren't getting the update. I
have Vista Ultimate and previous extras have loaded with no problem.
I viewed the update history to see if I had missed it - it's not in
update history . I tried the check for updates button and no updates
are no available (last update was 2/13.) I checked the desktop
background menus to see if it had mysteriously appeared - no joy. I
checked the Control Panel to ensure I'm still running Windows Vista
Ultimate and that's it activated - all good.

Does somebody know why some people aren't getting the update or what
might be preventing the update?

Hi there, this is just a thought - on the WU page - check "change settings"
see if you have an option to check "show beta products and related updates".
As I'm not running Vista, I'm unable to see if you have an option like this
when you check for updates.

I was having the same problem. I previously installed Office 2007 B2TR and
chose the option in Windows Update to "Get updates for more products" so that
I could update the Office 2007 software. However, I was no longer able to
find the previous Ultimate Extras Updates which I had never
downloaded/installed. I unchecked the option to "Use Microsoft Update" on the
Windows Update Settings page. Now, all of the available downloads and extras
are available again.
