Hi, I recently reformatted my hardrive and since then I
have been getting a windows xp security update every time
I start up my computer, it doesnt ask to restart and its
the same update every time- KB835732 is the update
number. Its nothing serious, just an annoyance and I was
wondering how to get it to stop occuring every time I
start up windows. Thanks

Windows Update Site Lists Updates That You Already Installed

Prevent Windows Update from prompting you to install a Hotfix you know is
already installed:

Open Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel to see if KB835732 is
listed.

Go here :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-011.mspx

Under the " General Information " heading click the plus sign next to
Security Update Information, click the plus sign next to
Windows XP (all versions). Scroll down to " File Information " and
compare the versions of callcont.dll, mst120.dll, and nmcom.dll
with the files on your system ( make sure you choose pre-SP1 or with
SP1 to match your installation ). They are located in the Program
Files\NetMeeting folder. Right click the files, choose Properties,
click the Version tab. If these files match, the update is showing
in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, and the registry key
matches (it is given on the above page under "Verifying Update
Installation") then the update is installed and not being detected
by the Windows Update site. This is a known issue .

*Hopefully* the update will be refreshed soon.
