Hope this isn't a dumb question!
I'm always reading about the new windows updates but when I do a update
check it always says there are "No new updates available.
1. Have there been any updates released in the last 3 months.
2. If there have been, why would my updates say there is none.
3. Could there be a problem with my windows updates?

Reason I am asking all this is, my neighbor and I have the exact same
computer with the same hardware. He is always getting updates while I am
getting none.
 
Are you, by chance, using auto-updates? Go to the "view updates" option and
see if you have 870669 installed. That is the latest critical update and was
released around 2 Jul.

No, I am not using auto update. And no, I don't not have the 870669
installed. In fact the last update I have was on 5/13/04
 
Just for info, my problem's all started after I used the new Windows XP
update CD. Have had several problems with my computer since then. Have
worked most of them out, but still can't get updates!
 
Hi Dan

Please can you try clearing your temporary internet files and cookies, and then opening Windows update. Then try clicking the option on the left 'Pick updates to install.'
