update softwear icon

The update softwear icon shows up in my task bar and tells me it is
updating, but when I click on it nothing happens. I would like to be able
to see what the updates are before they are downloaded or installed. How
can I do this? I am using XP Pro.

tks

There is a newsgroup dedicated to update problems:

If you use a news reader: microsoft.public.windowsupdate

If you use the web interface:
