Jeannie,
I had th4e same problem, and had trouble getting rid of it on a Win
98SE system. It took several tries, but the following three steps worked for
me.
1) Remove the update via Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs
2) Download the update manually via
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;823559
3) Re-boot to safe mode,
4) Run the update via the manually downloaded exe file.

It took two seperate tries, but I no longer get the notice that the critical
update 823559 is needed when I perform my normal Windows Update.

I also recomend checking out
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...=en-us&m=1&p=1

(rather long URL) That has information that allowed me to check the
regisdtry specifically for the update that is causing problems. Be patient,
follow the steps, and I believe you get this fixed as I did.

Thank You Chris for your information about update 823559. Unfortunately I am
not brave or computer illeteriate enough to try what you have suggested.
Therefore I will continue to download this every time I get the notice, which
is at least once a day. Who knows maybe a simpler way may pop up on this
message board one day. Again Thank You.

That is a good question. You should try and find out more about
your symptom before trying to repair what it might be.

Here is the TechNet article about it. Notice that the patch is very old.

<title>MS03-023: Buffer overrun in the HTML converter could allow code execution</title>
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;823559

So this suggests that as Chris discovered in his case the update
was already applied. The question then is why is it being reoffered?
The answer usually is that one or more of the modules it replaced
have become regressed. So, look in that article at the list of modules
which are involved and the version information associated with your OS:

27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 311,864 Html32.cnv Windows 98, Windows 98 SE
27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 116,288 Msconv97.dll Windows 98, Windows 98 SE


Now, find those modules on your system and use their File, Properties
to find out the actual details of your copies of them.

Chances are that the versions that you have are earlier than the above
and it happened somehow independently of WU. Therefore, the update
would be needed because of the versions of the modules but not needed
because it is already applied. Unfortunately, in this case WU does not
try to force the application of the update though it could that do very easily.

If you have an uninstall procedure for 823559 available you should try
using it. That might actually give you *newer* versions of the above
modules (but not as new as the ones listed). However, it wouldn't
really matter because by uninstalling it you would then have created
the condition that the modules indicated that you needed the patch
*and* the patch history indicated that it wasn't applied. Therefore,
it should apply *and* replace the modules properly, thus ending
your problem cycle.

Dear Jeannie, this is so totally simple... just go to your start menu and
click, then settings/control panel/ then, add/remove programs in your
control panel. scroll down until you find the 823559, or what ever one is
looping over and over everyday in your windows critical update, and highlight
823559 and click remove. then go back to windows update and rerun it. then
when opted to, just redownload it. thats it. you can then rerun it to see,
but it should be gone. i have had this before, and when i had to reload
Internet Explorer, it started again, so I had to do it again. just uninstall
it, and reload it. that simple. good luck, hope this helps! kat
