Update Error

[James]

Over the last 2 weeks or so I have been prompted to
download update: "811493: Security Update (Windows XP)"

It indicates that upon completion it was successful,
however each day since day one I am being prompted again
and again. I have even disablbed my virus protection and
tried to update, but that hasn't worked either.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

reboot, then reenable it.

Thanks for your reply Rick. I disabled the Auto update,
performed the update manually and I still ran into the
same problem- the update just won't "take hold". Can you
run through your steps again and just let me know when I
am supposed to perform the update, etc.

Thanks, this just won't go away,
James

Ok, so uninstall that hotfix first, then reinstall it. You should find =
it listed in Add & Remove in the Control Panel. Sorta screwy, but should =
