this update, how it it possible? ( I dont use any sus server or

Hello,

1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button , clicking All
Programs, and then clicking Windows Update.

2. In the left pane, click Check for updates and then, when Windows finds
updates for your computer, click View available updates.

3. Right-click the update you don't want to install, and then click Hide
update. The next time you check for updates, the update won't be
automatically selected or installed.

1. Stop the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:

Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.

3. Go to Windows Update website > Select CUSTOM and allow the scan to
complete > Uncheck/deselect "visio 2002 sp 2" and hide it ("Don't show me
this update again").

4. Start the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)
