(sorry, snipped quite a bit from your post)

An edited version of my Windows Update log (activity in the past
several days) can be limited downloaded (10 downloads, expiration on
10/18) from
http://www.filemail.com/dl.aspx[ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]?id=MKKLBFYRMCANPEI
(cut the brackets and the z's to make the URL work).

My WUA build is the same as yours, 7.2.6001.784, according to my log.

How do I find out what updates Windows is trying to install? Since
they're evidently on my computer somewhere, where can I find them?
