I am having the exact same problem. The computer tells me that the install
in complete. I check the history and it says the install is successful, but
everytime I get ready to shut down, the same update keeps popping up. Please

I"m also having problems with the Microsoft service pack thing... I've gone
to the web site you mentioned, and i can't make any sense of it. I'm too
afraid to follow the prompts as I can't find the exact codes mentioned in the
document. I have xp, not vista, will i bugger my computer if i throw caution
to the wind and make a few guesses? or am i better off sending my week old
computer back to the makers and getting them to fix it?

The problem is that there are literally MILLIONS and MILLIONS of different
combinations of hardware and software existing on machines round the world.
MS cannot POSSIBLY test their updates against that HUGE number of different
configurations...they would never get out of Redmond....

Unfortunately the problems typically are not caused by the Microsoft software,
but by third-party software which interferes with the proper operation of
Windows. There is very little Microsoft can realistically do about this.

It's not comforting to *finally* find this (after searching the Microsoft
Updates pages for umpteen minutes to begin with) and then to discover that
people have been having this SAME PROBLEM since November, 2007?? I didn't
start having it until I recently downloaded/installed the new Windows XP
Service Pack 3 just last week. I keep getting the alert to download
Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 Security Update KB936181.....I
keep thinking that I shouldn't even be receiving this alert....now that I
have Windows XP Service Pack 3??????

Please help fix this, Microsoft! It's ridiculous to continue to be
annoyed with the same alert to dl/install the same update...I've now done it
successfully 24 times over the past handful of days! But I'm not
technologically saavy enough to "not" respond to the alert and to do it. I
have everything set on Automatic Updates, and yet the little yellow warning
sign still appears in my status bar down in the right hand corner...asking me
to dl/install separately from any Automatic Update function setting I have.
Obviously there's an error....my update history says that I've successfully
installed the same update 24 times! Get with it, Microsoft~~~

.....and I agree with some of the posters below....surely someone from
Microsoft monitors and addresses these issues????????????????

Have you bothered to read the Known Issues section of KB936181?
