After KB927978 installed on my computer most of the icons in the notification
area of the task bar disappeared. I have looked at other post about this
update but none of them seem to have this problem. The icons where for
Volume, Windows Defender, HP Director and the USB indicator. I found this
update listed in add/remove programs and unistalled it. The icons still did
not return. I then used system restore to a point before Software
Distribution 2.0 was installed and my icons came back. I am using XP SP2 all
updates applied except for this one. Please help if you can

After going through all post about update MSXML 4.0 (KB927978) I realized one
of the key factors was the uninstall of MSXML 4.0 using add\remove programs.
Since I had already done this I decided to try the manual installation that
had been in other post. I downloaded MSMXL.MSI and MSMXL4-KB927978 using
links in one of the post. I started the install of MSXML.MSI . The options
were Install standard or Install custom . I understand that if MSXML 4.0 is
already on your machine the options will be Modify,Repair.or Unistall. At
this point I did the Standard Install assuming my machine did not have MSXML
4.0 because of the options given to me. The Install went well and I rebooted
my computer. I then proceeded to install MSMXL4-KB927978 . I again rebooted
my computer . After reboot the update notification appeared briefly . I
proceeded to Mirosoft Updates using my browser to check for updates. My high
priority updates required was Zero. All of my Icons on the notification area
are present and woking as they should . Hope this helps someone out there
..Goodluck.
