critical update

Running windows 98 I have downloaded the critical update (KB837009) 5 times
since the first of December and am still getting the notification that this
needs to be downloaded. When I check the history it say it was successful all
5 times. Why is it doing this. Am starting here to see if anybody has this
same problem or it is something wrong with my computer.

Which version of Outlook Express is installed ? Open OE, click Help,
About to find out.

OE 6 (6.00.2800.1123) I do not use outlook express for email. Have never set
it up. Just got this notification again. It may be a problem with explorer
have been getting a freeze up and have to reboot the computer. I am a novice
at this. Probably know enough to mess up my machine. This is just annoying
because it is something I really dont use. Thanks

run the Internet Explorer Repair Tool :
