MaryE,

Yup, there are plenty more, that was the most complicated one. :)

Open the WindowsUpdate.log located in the WINDOWS directory (folder).
Scroll down towards the bottom for the most recent entries. Copy and
paste the last 30 lines of the log into your reply, please.

Thanks for the suggestion. I followed your instructions and there was
nothing except the "default" entry. Any other suggestions

MaryE,

Go to Start > Run > type in

regedit
Click OK
Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Setup

by clicking the plus signs. Then click the plus sign next to the Setup
folder.
Click on the ServiceStartup folder.
In the right frame, these should be the only entries you see

Name - (Default)
Type - REG_SZ
Value - (not set)

If there are any other Names listed besides (Default), then right click
them, and choose Delete.
Close the registry editor by clicking all of the minus signs all the way
back to My Computer. Exit the registry editor.

[*** NOTE: *** DO NOT delete anything else from the registry, please.
Improper editing of the registry may render the system inoperable.]

Restart the system.
Revisit Windows Updates.

Did that resolve the issue ?
