You probably put a tick in the box for do not show this update again at the Windows Update sight...a good idea for updates you don't want...if you ever do want to see what you have done that to, you can click on show hidden updates...I have a lot hidden, and every once in a while(usually after a hardware change), I check to see if there might be something I want...as far as automatic updates goes, I have it set to notify me when they're available, and then pick the ones I want to d/l and install...yes, I do have broadband, not really an option I guess with dialup...I also check the Microsoft Update site every couple of weeks for my Office updates, and anything automatic might have missed.
