RE: UPDATE HISTORY SHOWS FAILED UPDATES

hello bpa .... thanks for replying.
In regards to your inquiring, the "red x" (with a yellow question mark by
it) appears in the "status" column, and it was by clicking on these icons
that I was directed to the different areas for each one, and downloaded and
installed the ones listed.
I've tried this procedure twice with each one.
Do you feel that since I did have the opportunity to download and install
each one, that they are truly installed, and the history list continuing to
show "failed" can just be overlooked?

---Thanks for your help ----
