Update Notify Me

I have selected "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them."
on my XP Automatic Updates. I get a ballon that tells me that there are new
updates available. I click on it and get a download window. I do the
download. I do not get an install message. I have had to go to the windows
update site to complete the installation. When I do that, it appears that it
downloads the updates again. Am I missing something?

There is something wrong with the update site. MS has not posted anything
yet, we've been looking all day. Not one machine out of thousands at our
university can currently update. Look for the updates at a third party
location. Once again MS cannot get with it and actually notify people they
are having a problem.
