the yellow icon from Windows download updates

I am running XP Home Edition SP2, updates are set to download but let me
decide when to install, I have watched the progress of the download but when
it
completed the yellow icon disappeared from the system tray/toolbar and my
only possibility to install them is at Shutdown time
the custom option become unavailable to me.
any solution to my problem?
Many thanks for your help

Maybe the icon has moved to the "Hidden Icons" area. Check there.
