Update on Windows Update Problem
 

As I indicated, all of a sudden the updates were being installed
automatically.

When I went to change my options (control panel/automatic updates) the first
choice was checked and everything was greyed out.

I posted on another newsgroup and was referred to:


Automatic Updates options are grayed out?:

I had to go into the registry but it was an easy fix and all is working now.

I still wonder what caused the problem
