Unsuccessful in installing KB931784 for XP

I have tried to install the KB931784 even since the automatic update
notification showed up, ... but it failed. The yellow shield shows up all the
time, but all further updating were unsuccessful.

Would someone show me what to do?

Try downloading the update manually via DownloadCenter:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...d-a9f1eae19b51

*Save* the file to a folder your harddisk (let me call it "C:\Downloads"),
do *not* execute it from within your browser.

Afterwards type the following under "Run" in the Start menu:
"C:\Downloads\WindowsXP-KB931784-x86-ENU.exe" /o

The parameter "/o" (o like overwriteOEM) should do the trick for you.
Note the blank between the last quote sign and the parameter /o!

Dear Freudi,

Thank you for your help. I tried it but it was again denied. It said that
c:\windows\system32\ntoskml.exe is currently in used or opened. I just don't
known what that is about.

Sincerely,
Buddha.

Pardon? Please restart Windows and try again with the procedure
mentioned above.

Dear Freudi,

It still did not work due to "internal error".

Sincerely,
Buddha.

Pardon, I still don't get it. You may wish to call PSS
if redownloading the update and trying to install it while
you've stopped *all* applications running in the background
(especially anti virus software, personal firewall software
(start the Windows XP firewall instead) and antispyware
software).

Bye,
Freudi

Dear Freudi,

I shall try. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Buddha.
