Update Not Showing in Programs and Features

Vista has installed an update every day this week but it doesn't show up\
in the View Installed Updates list.The last update is shown as being
installed
10/31 and I know for a fact that Vista has been installing a single update
nearly
every day this week. Not sure of the KB number but I'm sure it didn't
install
today when Vista says it did. I get no error messages or anything.

Thanks,
James

You're not looking in the right PLACE!

Control Panel (Classic Mode) - Windows Update - View Update History.

DUH!
