Mickey, which version of Windows Update are you using? I've been testing
the now-released v.6 site since the beginning, and have had no issues
(except where expected) for several months. All current updates are showing
on Auto Update, as they should. Have you opted into the new site version
yet?
You may want to report your issues to the microsoft.public.windowsupdate
newsgroup where those who support that specific function will respond.
