windows updates keep repeating the same update

[danszczerba]

Hello. I have a strange problem. Windows tells me "updates are ready to be installed". This is the update-Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-042 - Critical
Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (936227). I have installed this update at least 5-6 times in the last 2 days. I have just realized that this is the same update. I install, and 3 minutes later the icon is back telling me to install-Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-042 - Critical Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (936227). I have restarted the computer after each install, but this has not solved the problem. Please help!!! I am running XP PRO/SP2. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem, but i recently activated Outlook 2003. Thanks.

Do you ever get a message that states the update was not installed successfully?

One thing you can try, it download the update, when it says "Click here to install these updates" ignore it. Go to Shut Down your computer. When you get the options, you should see one to "Shut down and install updates". Select that option and that might solve your problems.

I've had this issue quite often in the last few weeks, and everytime I do this, it solves the problem.

Let us know if this helps.
