Default How do you disable a failed update?

Since automatic update downloaded the 'HID Non-User Input Data Filter (KB
911895)', every time I boot up, Windows attempts, and fails to install what
seems to be a non-existent piece of HID interface hardware. So, how do I
turn this off so I don't have to deal with it every bootup?! Thanks! I read
the article, but could find no reference about how to do so.

With that low of a numbered update you must be in SP1,try updating
to SP2 & SP3,those updates start at about 950000.

No, I have SP2, but I think this was downloaded in response to some software
that I installed... BTW, what's the latest take on SP3? I avoided it at
release when I heard about the many difficulties that people had with it,
and saw it suggested to avoid it - SP2 is working fine for me, should I
leave well enough alone?

Ted! Something to think about. You stated you heard about the many
difficulties people had with
SP3. I suggest you more or less ignore that info. Think of the MILLIONS of
people who have
installed it without a glitch. Reading these news groups you'll only hear of
the bad experiences
and not the good. And, I might add, those with the bad experiences in all
probability was caused
by non Microsoft items such as Symantec, Norton, and other programs.

FWIW, This machine - which _came_ with SP3 - hasn't given me much
trouble so far.

But no-one can say whether you should install SP3 or not: look at the
benefits SP3 is supposed to give (added functionality, security matters)
and decide if they are significant to you.

I think the reports of SP3's problems have died off, and in general it
is a good thing. As long as you're not overly concerned by the (alleged)
increased DRM, I'd say it's probably better on balance to have it than
not. But that's just my opinion.
