Question about 'Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update'

I have a question about Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update:

As of 2005 Aug 10 I have lost the ability to disable Automatic Update in Windows XP Prof SP1. Automatic is now "ON", and all four control options are greyed out. This happened following installation of the first (installed in the morning of 2005 Aug 10) of the 8 updates released 2005 Aug 10. Mid afternoon, the remaining 7, which I had not selected for download or install, installed themselves, and I could not interrupt the process. How do I regain control of updates ? Mike
