Hi again,

In my earlier message regarding failure to install
through your latest suggestion, I failed to mention this:
It seems like I've been installing the same three updates
over and over again when they pop up on Windows update,
and I could swear those three showed up again after I ran
the scan for updates that I just got through the Update
icon. Can that mean anything?
