I have installed SP2, and previously installed all updates. Since
installing SP2 I set updates to Automatic (nw reverted to notify).

WU installation history shows : You have not installed any updates.

Checking for updates shows none required

Using Belarc shows at least 2 updates since SP2.SP3

Any ideas why WU cannot report these as being installed?

Should I be seeing any other updates since SP2?

In Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, SP-2 has ALL the fixes and updates that
came out previously. I read an article that SP-2 has all the updates that
have been previously released by Microsoft. Including those of SP-1. I think
you can't see the Installition History because SP-2 cleans up the system and
the updates that were installed after SP-2 is installed is cleaned up by the
system. That might be the cause that you can't see the updates that were
installed by you before SP-2. I think, I'm not sure. Just trying to help out.
Bye
