Security Update

[RP1980]

Good Evening,

 

Every time I open Vista on my laptop Windows Update advises me a new security update needs installing,

 

'Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430)'

 

I have selected this update to be installed many times, it also updates every time I shut the PC down but it's still there to be installed. When I look at the update history it appears several times. Why won't it go away?

There is some info here about this issue

 

MS08-069: Description of the security update for XML Core Services 4.0: November 11, 2008

 

It's a long document...................

 

The fix is here....

 

An update is available that improves the compatibility and the reliability of Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 on a Windows Vista-based computer

It can also be attributed to you not having admin privelages - it tries and installes the update and when you reboot it hasnt and keeps trying

How would I know if I have admin privilages? I am the one and only user of the computer. I bought it brand new a couple of weeks back and went through all the initial setup myself?

Go to your Control Panel and click on "user accounts" it should say Computer administrator under your log in name. If not it may allow you to change your status if you click on your name. If for some reason it will not (It seems odd that you should be able to but I know I can.) you can go into safe mode and then open the administrator account. You can change your user status there.

Oops, didn't even think to change that when I bought my new laptop. Amended now.

 

I have checked and I am the administrator. Thanks!
