Thank you, Robear! I’ve been doing the reading, and I hope I understand what
I need to do. I do have a few questions, though. Here’s what I think is

The notification is for the Windows XP SP3 only and alrady downloaded. When I

I hadn't thought of doing it through Automatic Update; but if you think that
would work OK, I'll do it. I've had the update notification shield since
