Failed Installations

[Guest Ditto007]

I asked a question yesterday about the necessity of Service Pack3. Thanks

for all the info. From the info, I guess I don't really need it. Does

anyone know how to delete it from updates if I don't want it. It also shows

0 downloaded and failed to install.

 

Now I need to know about other updates the fail to install and show 0

downloaded info. I called Dell and they said I do not need the updates for

my computer and that is why they did not install.

The icon showed up in my in my system tray wanting to install 2 updates. One

was for Update Windows XP (KB952287) and the other was a Security Update

(KB046648). My history shows they have tried to install numerous times and

have failed and also failed when I try to install.

 

Is it true that if an update does not install, you do not need it for your

system?

 

Thanks!

I used the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs to remove it.

"Is it true that if an update does not install, you do not need it for your

No, that is not true.
