    I have not installed WGA. When i go to Microsoft update site for update this is what i get after selecting Custom installation. I cant update anything. This the only one option i get to update.

    Kaun97,

    This is expected behavior.

    Manual download and installation of updates from Windows/Microsoft updates is a perk or benefit extended to valued Microsoft customers who are participating in the Windows Genuine Advantage program.  In return for participating, MS makes these benefits and others, such as nice-to-have programs from MS downloads, available to participants.

    If you choose to not participate in the WGA program, then in order to get security-related critical updates only and no other updates, you have to enable Automatic Updates either thru the Secuity Center or on the System Properties page of My Computer.

    Please visit: www.microsoft.com/genuine and click Validate Windows. After the validation test fails, you'll see instructions on how to acquire a WGA Kit.
