    Installed BigFix on June 17 and turned off Automatic Update notification in XP, but to date have not been notified of a single Windows Update - just a couple of very old fixes to Office 2000.

    BigFix 1.7.6.0 - subscribed to BigFix, Fixlet Central and WinXP - preferences set to Contact Preferences - 'Pospone until connected' (dialup 56k, so not always on). Even invoking a manual Gather brings up nothing, even though there are Wjndows Updates available which are applicable to my m/c - both 'critical' and non-critical.

    What is going wrong here?

    Thanks to Windows-Help.net Newsletter I get to learn of available updates - thanks Arie

    I was wondering about that too, Pete. My last update was June 6th. Since then nothing. I am on DSL.

    The saga continues - just received the MS Security Bulletin - 2 new updates for XP - Windows Update offers them to me on my laptop (no BigFix).

    On this m/c BigFix slumbers - even a manual gather gets nothing. Seems like time to return to Windows Update - notify only.
