Hi. I have downloaded the KB833987 (GDI+ Detection tool)
already. I noticed you have another site for another
download KB833989 that came out 09/20/04. Do I also need
this one? I just went to WU and it is not listed as one
of my criticals to download. Apparently my Windows Update
is not automatically downloading updates when needed. I
have been having to do them manually so now I don't know
if I have all that I need. Is there a list that I can
check to see if I have them all? I am using Windows XP
Pro sp1 with IE6.0. I have not installed xpsp2 yet, but
have CD here from Microsoft. Any help or advice?
