When I did a windows upgrade search the kb911927 came up as
a "critical uograde". However this upgrade applies to
windows 2000 (not windows xp home edition which is what I
have). Why is "windows upgrade" recommending a critical
upgrade for an operating system that is not on my computer?

That update was installed on my XP HE system on 2/14.

Both of these Microsoft articles list XP Home Edition.
