Note If you installed the .NET Framework 3.0 on a non-English version of Windows Server
2003 or of Windows XP, you must install the appropriate language pack for the .NET

Windows version?

(1) Are you running a non-English version of Windows XP *and* (2) are you
using a Unidrv-based printer *and* (3) is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
installed *and* (4) are you seeing English text in the print dialog box when
you print something? If you cannot answer Yes to all four (4) conditions,
you don't need to install 934238.

Apologies to Terry if I may hijack your thread, and with all respect to Mr.
PA Bear, I have been having the exact same problems after a clean reinstall
of XP a few days ago. After searching these forums and reading the archived
thread, I still am not satisfied with this answer. I could care less whether
I need/don't need, and have/don't have the 934238 update. I just want to
turn off the notification balloon and icon!! If I don't need it, how can I
make Windows Update quit bugging me about it and telling me I do need it?

P.S. In my case, I get an error message and cannot install the patch
referenced in the 12/6/07 post by Shenan Stanley,
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...e-5bd47b2ad9fb

I also cannot uninstall .NET framework v3.0 using the add/remove programs
that windows update earlier installed on my machine ("! - A problem has been
encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup.") , and I
cannot install the .NET framework 3.0 Service Pack (".NET framework 3.0 SP1
has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not complete correctly.")

Oops, sorry, that'll show me for reading too fast...your suggestion in post
#58 for doing an update | custom scan and unchecking and hiding the 934238
update finally made the popups stop. Sorry for the rant, and thanks for your
help.
