How do I remove this update(there are actually two instances) showing failed
to install. I get error message 0xE0434F4d and have difficulty shutting down
my computer. I get another JIT error message on restart.

This is a royal pain!

>IF YOU JUST DID YOUR UPDATE GO TO MICROSOFT SYSTEM RESTORE (IN YOUR START
MENU) AND CREATE A RESTORE POINT FOR THE DAY BEFORE YOU DID THE UPDATE, AND
IT WILL REMOVE IT WITHOUT LOSING ANY OF YOUR FILES OR EMAIL THAT YOU HAVE
SAVED SINCE AND WHEN IT FINISHES IT WILL RESTART FOR YOU...AND IF THAT
DOESN'T WORK GO INTO YOUR CONTROL PANEL AND CLICK ON ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS AND
FIND THE PROGRAM YOU ARE TRYING TO UPDATE, CLICK ON IT AND IT WILL PROBABLY
SAY THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, AND IT WILL TRY TO REPAIR THE FILE...

This update tried to install several days ago. Since posting my original
message I found a solution using an item in PC Magazine's August 23 User to
User column. I stopped the "automatic updates" service in services.msc,
renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder in c"\windows, then restarted the
service.

Windows Update still shows the KB update as available for download but it is
no longer displaying any error messages either at shutdown or restart.
Previously it was showing the KB update as already downloaded but not
installed.

Thank you, though, for your suggestions.
