You can always go to the Update Catalog (link below) and just just check "by
date" and see what is new.
I have found during this past year that many of the updates coming in on the
Auto Update site give problems. Either downloading or installing or giving
error messages or screwing something up on my computer.
So I have generally taken to seeing which ones are there to be updated and
then finding them either on a MS download site or go to the MS Updates
catalog
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp and get
them from there.
Another trick that works for me is to download and SAVE them first to a
folder I keep them in and then Install them one by one later. Many folks
claim you should also keep your AV off while installing and /or downloading
them.
Most of these problems started when MS offered Microsoft Updates instead of
only Windows Updates. I, in fact then disabled Microsoft Updates and only use
Windows Updates and go to Office Updates to get them seperately. My Windows
Update site works fine now but as I said often things screw up in the process
of DL and Installing the updates so I use the procedure discribved above.
