You are not alone with having trouble with this update. Due to automatic
update I installed this update 3 times before I noticed it was the same one
over and over. I had to hide the update to keep it from insalling itself over
and over. Did anyone else have this problem?

Three times? You're lucky... I have installed it about 10 times, trying to
make it disappear. And, I have installed it from the download site, the
update site, and Windows update. I cannot get it to shut off.

Windows XP? Try downloading the update manually via DownloadCenter:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...b-dc23923d09e7

*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-KB929338-x86-ENU.exe /o"

The parameter "/o" (o like OEM) should do the trick for you.

HTH,
Freudi

Yes, thank-you for that great piece of wisdom!

I too, had the update download and try and install many many times, to the
point I had to disable updates, until I found the solution here!

Much appreciated, thank you!

Thanks, Ottmar...

I used your instructions and it resolved the issue successfully. Just out
of curiosity, can you tell me some more about the "/o" option?

Fine :-)

"/o" is an equivalent of "/oemoverwrite".

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262841 for some and
