Sec.update for IE8 shows as having updated but keeps wanting to up

The security update for windows 8 is indicated as having updated successfully
but update notification retains the update indicating that it needs to be
updated. Note: My IE no longer works. I went to Microsoft downloads and noted
that IE8 is not compatible with windows 7 beta. Because IE is not working on
my computer, I am currently using opera. Please advise how I can get rid of
the IE8 security update since IE8 is not compatible with windows 7 beta and
what version of IE I can download and use with Windows 7 beta.
Thanks
JimB
