Did you open Control Panel, select the icon Automatic Updates, and then
"Notify me but don't automatically download or install them"?

Windows version?

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone Alarm
(Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

I was on my way back here to post what I believe fixed my problem when I saw
the above postings. I believe that Norton Anti-Virus is causing the problem.
I changed Norton setting to ignore the Windows Automatic Update settings.
