KB971486 security update wants to install over and over??

Good morning,

For the record I am using a Compaq Presario AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor
3300+, 2411MHz/1.93 GBs RAM, running Windows Xp Home, SP3., with IE8.

I just finished installing the monthly Microsoft Security updates and after
finishing I noticed I still received a taskbar notification that another
update was available. After I installed that one I realized it was one of
the 14 I just finished downloading and installing minutes before.

Is anyone else having this problem with KB971486?

Thanks and regards,

2harts4ever

UPDATE: I had submitted this question yesterday but when it failed to appear
after two or three hours I then submitted it to the Windows XP Update forum
too. Now today I see both forums show my question. Sorry for any confusion
this might have caused.

Check the KB971486.log, located in WINDOWS, to see what is interfering
with the update's installation.
Or, clean boot XP and see if that gets the automatically downloaded
update to install properly:
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

When the kernel is replaced, as it is from this update, security
software may interfere with the operation.

I've been following this thread have not been able to resolve. I found
this information regarding the update's importance on TechRepublic so
I've uninstalled it and checked it off to not be bothered about this
update again:

MS09-058/KB971486 - Important (2000, XP, 2003, 2008): An issue with the
Windows kernel could allow an escalation of privileges attack. This is a
relatively low-key bug, since the attacker would need to be logged in
and running the exploit code, and remote and anonymous users cannot
trigger it. Put this patch on during your next patch window. 1.6 MB -
7.8 MB

Good luck!

This problem was fixed by me and other folks by following the fix given in
Response #11 he

Do you think hiding this update will mitigate the vulnerability that's
described in the Security Bulleting ?
Pretending the vuln doesn't exist because there's an issue installing
the update is precisely why so many systems are compromised.
MS offers *no-charge* support for issues with installing SEcurity
updates and adverse effects from installed Security updates:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-058 - Important
Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege
(971486)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS09-058.mspx

" Support
• Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from
Security Support http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=21131
or 1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no charge for support calls that are
associated with security updates. For more information about available
support options, see Microsoft Help and Support.
• International customers can receive support from their local Microsoft

for support issues, visit the International Support Web site.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=21155 "

And, there is a workaround for getting this update installed.
Uninstall KB971486 from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
Reboot.
Manually download the update from the MS Download Center and *save* it
to the root drive, which on most systems, is C:\ :
KB971486 for Windows XP 32 bit (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Once the download completes close *all* programs and browsers.
Click Start Run Browse
Navigate to the root drive (C:\) and click once on it to highlight it,
then click Open.
In the Open: field add this the end what is showing /o
The line will now look like this

C:\WindowsXP-KB971486-x86-ENU.exe /o

NOTE the *space* between the e and the /

Then click OK and the update will install properly.
There should be a prompt to restart the system.
Do so and you're finished with this update.
