Automatic Updates

[Bill Zankie]

I recently installed the XP SP2. I followed all the directions & hints and
it installed
without too many glitches. Firewall is a Go, Anti-Virus is a Go, the only
problem is I can't get the "Automatic Updates" option to work. Tried all the
prompts and went nto the system and tried to set it on Automatic Updates but
it is not working !!! I am puzzled. Any suggestions ?

Hi Bill, try the WU NG as well, as they may have some ideas
