Security Update Needed

I am a Sims game lover, and managed to get all the Sims expansion packs.
However, when I loaded Superstar and Makin' Magic, both installations
insisted I install Security Update #329623 since I already had #328310
installed. The games ran for a while, but they are not working anymore, even
after uninstalling and reinstalling them. I have sent a question to Sims
tech support, but I think I need the update from Windows.

I have not been able to find 329623 anywhere in Windows Update, and am at a
loss as to how to get this. My only other option is to uninstall the first
update (328310), but somehow I get the feeling that won't be smart. Can
someone please help me? Thanx!!!

Thank you, PA Bear! I was able to download the fix and it was installed
successfully. Sorry to say, that the game is still not working. I'm still
waiting on a reply from the Sims Tech Help - maybe they can resolve it for me.

But at least I've got the update I know I needed. Thanx again. KayCee

Thanx again, PA Bear. I heard from Sims Tech Help, and I ended up having to
reinstall the games and the expansion packs. I'm grateful for the link you
posted - installing the last two packs should not foul up the game now.
