I just changed the auto update setting as you suggested to "Notify
Only"....
I then went onto the Win Update site
update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us
and chose "Custom" as I usually do......
Things are still the same----The words "Don't show this update again"
and
the 'check box' are still greyed out.....
Any other suggestions.....???.......Thanx
[You're running WinXP SP2.]
After logging-in as Administrator, change your Automatic Updates
setting
to
Notify Only* then revisit Windows Update to see if either of these
changes
affects your ability to hide updates there.
* "After you set this option, Windows recognizes when you are online
and
uses your Internet connection to search for downloads from the Windows
Update Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site. An Automatic
Updates
icon and message appear in the notification area of your taskbar when
new
updates are available to download or to install..."

What happens when you try to hide an update?****The words "Don't show this update again" and the 'check box' are
greyed
out...Totally eliminating the ability to choose to "hide"...
How is Automatic Updates configured (i.e., Automatic; Download/Notify;
Notify Only)?****I have "Automatic Updates" turned--- Off.....
I use --------
update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us every
month
to
scan for needed updates......That gives me the options---"Express" or
"Custom".....I choose "Custom"......That's where I run into the
inability
to "hide" unwanted updates.....Here's an example------ ------"A
security
issue has been identified in TCPIP that could allow an attacker to
compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it. You can
help
protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After
you
install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Details...
Don't show this update again"--------
-------The words "Don't show this update again followed by a check box
are
greyed out.....
I don't use the Hide option often (the last time was 3/07) but every
once
in
awhile I choose not to install an update and I don't want to deal with
it
month after month etc.....
Thanx for helping me with this.....
