tries to install the same update every two minutes or so

I did have automatic updates turned on. However the little yellow shield in
the taskbar was telling me every two minutes or so that updates were ready
for installation. I clicked on the shield and the following update was
installed

Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)

I received no error messages and according to the microsoft website I have
installed this 8 times today always successfully. I originally installed this
several days ago.



I have now switched automatic updates off.

Download and run the patch manually, it should give you an error code.
or check the WSUS logs on the local machine, I think windowsupdate.log and
windows Update.log (note the space)

The Windows Update.log is no longer used as the Windows Update Catalog
has been renamed the Microsoft Update Catalog, moved to a different URL,
and no longer utilizes it.
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx

[NOTE: Win 9x systems can still access the Windows Update Catalog, not
NTFS based systems]

The WindowsUpdate.log, located in the WINDOWS directory [folder] is what
should be used to view any possibly relevant errors.
