Microsoft Updates Question:

[Guest Navyguy]

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP2, with DSL connection. I have

AVG antivirus free version, Comodo firewall, Spyware Blaster and Hive

Cleanup. All of these have run well together and I have had no

problems.

 

Yesterday I ran Microsoft automatic updates and all went well and all

updates were successful. However since that time the Security update

KB956841 keeps coming up to be updated like it's in a loop or

something. In fact, I just updated it before this post and now its

back again! I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to stop

it or correct this so it will end the loop.

 

Thanks,

Robert

Read this Info and perform the instruction for the Bat file.

But first try this:

Open windows Explorer and delete these two folders:

C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution = Download and SelfUpdate should be deleted.

Run Disk Clean up on your Drive then Reboot your machine and try the bat file.

Open a notepad and copy and paste the following into it and save as

update.bat on your desktop. Double click the bat file to excute and click

[Yes to register the dlls and reboot your machine and see if that will help!

 

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

 

Download the Update manually from here and save it on your Desktop.

Security Update for Windows XP (KB956841)

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=25997b73-a640-49c1-b19e-768a18bbe22c&displaylang=en

 

Disconnect from the Internet and Disable your Anti-virs and Anti-malware and

try the installation, is it success (don't forget to Renable Both the AV and

the Anti-malware Application)?

 

If still having trouble try the below info:

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP

installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

 

 

 

Or try this fix.

Robert,

 

If a manual installation with the installed AV temp disabled, as nass

recommended, doesn't resolve the reoffering issue:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956841

> How to obtain help and support for this security update

> For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in the United States and

> Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. For more information about how to contact

> your local Microsoft subsidiary for support issues with security updates, visit the Microsoft

> or to unlimited individual chat support by visiting the following Microsoft Web site:

> http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&prid=7552

 

Either Commodo/AVG or a failure to restart is the cause of the update

being reoffered.
