Ok so I have a bit of an issue that I would like resolved it seems that after installing this pile of tripe on 2 laptops and a desktop that after installing the correct driver's from the manufacturers website when I got to download updates through windows update it shows me that I have 46 updates and 6 optional updates.

Now when I go to check the updates the list is empty and I have to reboot the machine and recheck and this time it works WTF!

anybody else experience this?

Did you reboot after installing the MFG Drivers?'

What happened at this point? Did you say to install the updates or did you reboot at this point?

All I see is that you had to reboot once. What exactly is the problem?

Where are you checking the list of Updates? There's two, one shows a bit different from the other. I had other info but doubts about how it would be received.

After the December updates my machine had a hiccup with the updates.

I installed them all & rebooted & got the message that updates were available.
I went to Windows Update & saw 3.
I clicked on Check for updates & when it was done the 3 updates were no longer available.

I figure it was just a glitch.
I don't worry about it.
