When I check the Windows Update status, it shows all of the updates that were made automatically since creation. However, some of them (6-7) are marked as "failed". When I look these updates up in the add/remove window, they appear to be installed OK. If I use the MS help links and look at the details about an update, I find that there are rollup updates (that roll up successive updates, I suppose) and they reference a lot of other updates that apparently need to be installed in order (I assume). Is there a procedure for correcting these "failed" updates? Smooth
