Re: Can't update Windows

Short answer is I'm not sure, as MS has recently changed its download page
and no longer can I find how to see what my download history has been.

But I think it has been all downloads since I upgraded to Service Pack 2 a
few weeks ago.

That being said, I just now tried to load a download, the only one I found
for XP and it seemed to download OK.

How do I find my download history now?
