Re: Security Update for IE7 WinXP KB950759 fails to install

 

What do you mean "built in" ?

Did you just buy it?

In 'Add or Remove Programs' check the box to show updates.

Re: Security Update for IE7 WinXP KB950759 fails to install

 

Yes thats corect I purchased Service Pack 3 edition of Windows. I think this

means its built in. I have the check nox selected to show updates and SP3 is

not there with the other Windows updates.

 

So I am wondering what I should do and how I shoud deal with this.

Re: Security Update for IE7 WinXP KB950759 fails to install

 

I really wish I could help you, but I'm lost now.

 

Open a new thread in the Windows Updates forum (microsoft.public.windowsupdate) and cross

your fingers.

 

Sorry, good luck!
