I made no conscious decisions about WU, and I'm not sure what version
it is to be honest. Hang on, let me check and see...

OK, this is the link I use
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
which presumably implies version 4?
But when I get there, this is the address I see in MSIE6:
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us
which is plainly version 5 (with the new look, with Express and
Customise options, etc.)

At the site torgeir advised. Now have it on a CD, in case I ever risk
trying again!
