Now when Microsoft Update or Automatic Update runs, only fixes for the
products I installed are presented for download. These fixes have been
downloaded and installed correctly by Update. No updates for Win XP or any
of its components have been presented for download since the reinstall.

Check Add/Remove Programs to see if you have, say, update 950974 installed
(which was released in August).

If not, post the last hundred or so lines from WindowsUpdate.log (usually found
in c:\windows).

A scan using Belarc Advisor shows 15 missing hotfixes based on 09/09/2008
Microsoft Security Bulletin summary.

Are these hotfixes or security updates? Does it tell you the KB numbers?
