If you have Windows update automated, you will receive all updates behind the scenes. You can go to Add/Remove Programs and scroll down to see if you see KB925902. You may have to click on view all (can't remember the exact wording) in order to see the updates.

True, but the update won't actually show up until tomorrow morning at 3am. by then, if you use internet, it may be too late. that's why you do it now. SW

there's not one week that goes by where windows update doesn't give me three or four security fixes. we should all always be checking windows update. Microsoft operating systems leak like a sieve. I had to buy a new notebook last week and i went through hell finding one with XP instead of Vista. I even had to give up the Sony i wanted because they wouldn't give it to me without Vista. I'm using Windows because EVERYONE on the planet uses windows and i need to be compatible but i sure wish we were all running LINUX or some version of UNIX. I'm getting so tired of all these Windows issues and if they don't fix Vista soon a lot of people are gonna be hitting their heads against the wall. The good thing about Vista? Games. The bad thing.. at 43 i finally grew out of them this year and don't game anymore.
