Error Code: 0x8007F0EA - KB953838 failed to install

Is there a way around this error? Just got a new notebook, downloaded and
installed all available updates; but upon checking the update history, I see
that this one failed. I Google'd it last night, I can see that the error is
somewhat prevalent but haven't been able to pinpoint a solution for it.

TIA for your help.

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup, please. In this case, please state your IE
version if you're running WinXP.

Is this a brand-new machine or a new machine for you?
