Groundhog's Day

I've got a security patch that doesn't install right.
Every shutdown it wants to install again, and again, and again....
well, you get the idea.

Wow. I have to alert Microsoft for this issue. You mean you are having trouble
installing Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 does not update. Jeepers. You have a real bad
problem and I do not envy you at all

Thanks but here's my new policy for things a beginner can't do:

Thanks, but I don't have the time or expertise to do this well.
It is **** to ask the beginning user to do this.
I will wait for the next patch I guess.
M$ asks for a lot of money you know.
The least they can do is fix their own damn code.
