Annoying KB923694 installed but Autoupdate keeps popping up notice

I've already installed KB923694 last August. It's listed in my Add/Remove
Programs list and yet Autoupdate keeps listing it as needing to be
installed.

Annoying mindless Autoupdate. The more annoying thing is, before I checked
if it's already in my Add/Remove Programs list, I did try to install it
through Autoupdate. It installed successfully but, less than 2 minutes
later, Autoupdate pops up again to tell me to install it. Did the same
thing repeatedly!

Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 923694 (MS06-076) was
released in Dec-06 and your message headers tell me that it is, in fact,
installed. But the headers also tell me that:

(1) a later cumulative update for OE (929123; MS07-034) is NOT installed and
that...

(2) an even more-recent Critical Security Update for OE (941202; MS07-056)
IS installed.

[This leads me to believe that either you had Automatic Updates disabled for
a period of time and had been picking & choosing updates to install or
Automatic Updates wasn't working properly for a period of time.]

In any event, here's how to correct the problem:

1. Close Outlook Express.

2. Disable Automatic Updates via Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Automatic Updates > "Turn off"

3. Delete C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution <=this folder

4. Open Add/Remove Programs > Make certain the Show Updates box is checked
(top, right) > Scroll down and uninstall "Security Update for Windows XP
(KB941202)"

5. Reboot if prompted to do so.

6. Download the installer for 929123, saving it to your desktop:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...0-4c895ceb99aa

7. Double-click on the saved file (WindowsXP-KB929123-x86-ENU.exe) to
install.

8. Re-enable Automatic Updates via Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Automatic Updates

You are still have a screwed version of OE, aka manually mixed files.
