I *did* use the Update Wizard, initially to update dvipdfm.
If you mean, why didn't I just update everything instead of
just dvipdfm, the answer (incomplete as it may seem) is that
my connection is via 56k modem and the only piece I had any
issues with was dvipdfm (an issue concerning a minor bug).
So I thought I'd just get what I needed ...

When you say "nothing is missing", are you implying that
a complete update would have included the DLLs listed on
the issues page??
  http://www.miktex.org/2.2/issues.html
(That seems unlikely to me.)
If not, then you are not really responding to my usability
question.  I would still have had to go through my
exploration and bafflement concerning the advice on that
page. If these DLLs were in fact included I guess the lesson
to me is: always update everything, however long it takes,
even though the Wizard is designed to allow incremental
updates.

Anyway, after addressing the issue above, I found some time
where I could tie up my phone line for hours, and I basically
downloaded everything.  I seem to be up and running again.
I'm still curious what part of it included mt22png.dll,
if anyone can tell me.
