Messenger Update
When attempting to sign on to WM I get a notice that a new
version is available and I must install to continue. I do so and it appears to install. Then a pop up asks me to install Windows XP Hotfix (kb887472). This does not seem to install. I have cycled through this several times and each time I attempt to sign in the cycle starts again. Now whenever I log onto Outlook Express the new version message pops up. I have tried to download from te latest online versions and have unchecked any references to WM auto sign on. I I uninstall WM (can ony be done through the Registry) I have no guarantee the message will no longer keep popping up. Any and all help would be appreciated. THANKS. |

Messenger Update
I am replying to my own message to cancel. After trying everything I could think of I remembered the "System Restore" feature which took me back just four days and required minimal adjustent for small changes over the past four days. |

Messenger Update
As I noted in my reply to my own message, I went to System Restore in Windows XP and found a restore point three days prior to my activity with Messenger. This cleared the problem. I almost believe that the nag box was a virus. |
