My splash screen says only 1.08 and my history page indicates 1.08 beta.  I tried what you suggested (my show pre release/beta button was already off) and it did not work, indicating that my game verified successfully.  Not sure what to do now to get this 1.08.037.

Thanks for the interest.  It turns out that I was looking in the wrong preferences place (in the Windows bottom menu bar popup for Impulse) and not in the top menu bar within the Impulse application itself.  This time the verification did fail and I'm now downloading (hopefully) 1.08.037. 

gunnergoz: the splash screen should show 1.08 (with nothing after) and history log will have 1.08 beta if you had it at one point. Those are not the indicators

After it failed verification and re-downloaded, look at the bottom of your games impulse tab while you have Elemental selected. There should be things like:

Elemental Updated: 9/18/2010

Stardock Entertaiment

Version 1.08

Move your mouse that it hovers over 1.08 and it will show you the small pop up window the long version number along with the disk space usage.  That one should be 1.08.037. 

oddrheia- thanks, that clarified it wonderfully.  I do have 1.08.037.  Learn more everyday around here.

Phaydon - I think that the SD team are taking the weekend off - that's my impression based upon their sparse presence here this weekend.  And as for the update, I think it is automatic through Impulse when you go to launch Elemental but a few folks had a problem due to having that checkbox for beta checked and hence the conversation about installing the latest version of the update vs. the beta version.  For my part, I had to be educated by others about how to find out which version of the update I had.
