You turned your automatic updates off and the icon
disappeared. Then you turned your automatic updates back
on. Did this take the icon away for good? Can you still
download updates? Let me know if this took care of it so
that when I get on my home computer after work I can try
this. Thanks....

Yes tis took it away for good. I am still able to scan for updates, and it
finds the sp2 update, but I have not installed it because of the various
problems people are having after the install. I am assuming the sp2 was
automatically downloading when it hung up and left the icon in my taskbar at
0% because that is the only critical update found when I scan. It has yet to
try and download automatically though.

Hi -

As suggested, I turned off update/turned it back on and got the notice for
SP2... I'm staying away from that (for now).

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's sorta' a funky way to have to deal
with things, but as long as it works I am fine with that.
