This morning I noticed a message in the Action Center saying that
there had been a "Windows Update installation problem" dated two days
ago. A Windows update did not install properly, it said. I checked my
system and application logs for the past week and found no error
messages. I checked Windows Update history and I did an update for
Internet Explorer 8 on 1/23, two days earlier, that it said completed
successfully. I do see there is an Internet Explorer 8 update to be
installed.still and am assuming that must be *again*? So I am
confused. Do I have a problem or not? How do I track this down to see
if this is an inaccurate Action Center message and if not, how to
repair the problem? (I have automatic updates disabled.) Will re-
installing it take care of the problem? Any help appreciated.
